A lighter, healthier take on classic cheesecake, made with creamy Greek yogurt and rich dark chocolate.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
In a large bowl, beat the Greek yogurt and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the cheesecake filling until well combined.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 1 hour, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
