Cheesecake Recipe With Cream Cheese And Greek Yogurt No Bake
Time for a Healthier Greek Yogurt Cheesecake! We’re changing a few ingredients to lighten up this classic dessert and I know the cheesecake lovers out there will really enjoy this one.
I recently asked on Instagram if you would be interested in more cheesecake recipes. To my surprise loads of people said YES.
We’re putting the Fit Mitten Kitchen spin on the classic dessert by changing up a few things to make this cheesecake a touch lighter, a bit healthier and using less sugar than your average cheesecake recipe.
No Bake Cheesecake Cups
We’re doing part Greek yogurt, part cream cheese! This combination lightens up the dessert quite a bit but you still get the classic cheesecake taste.
Of course there is nothing wrong with a traditional cheesecake – all about balance and moderation – but if I can swap some ingredients and lessen the sugar amount I always like to give it a go. Sometimes it works, other times the real deal is preferred.
This Greek yogurt cheesecake really doesn’t require a ton of ingredients and it’s fairly simple to make. But there are some *do not skip*steps involved for you to get the best possible outcome for this dessert…
Cheesecake Without Cream Cheese
Have you ever tried to make a cream cheese dessert and tried to speed the process up by just using the cream cheese straight from the fridge? It doesn’t work. You must must MUST use room temperature ingredients here.
The Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and eggs all need to sit out at room temperature prior to combining– I probably waited a good hour until I started this step.
If you don’t wait for those ingredients to come to room temperature, you’ll end up with a lumpy mess and that is no good.

What is a water bath? A water bath is used to help create a steamy environment for the cheesecake and it helps prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
While you can technically skip the water bath, you may end up with cracking. If you’re looking to cover the top of the cheesecake with a ganache or fruit, you may not necessarily care.
But if you’re a little type A and strive for perfection, give the water bath a try. It’s a small additional step that will make sure your cheesecake doesn’t crack when baking.
Whipped Yogurt Cream
Because the Greek yogurt makes this cheesecake a little on the lighter side, it is not as dense as a normal cheesecake recipe and really needs a full eight hours in the fridge before cutting into.
What’s great about cheesecake is it can be prepped ahead of time. You can make the crust one day, and the cheesecake portion the next and then have it chill the day before you need it.
You simply just cook down fruit with a little bit of lemon or orange juice. I added chia seeds to help thicken the compote a bit (instead of adding something like flour or cornstarch) so I like to think of it as a fun health boost.

Time for a Healthier Greek Yogurt Cheesecake! We’re changing a few ingredients to lighten up this classic dessert and I know the cheesecake lovers out there will really enjoy this one. A standard graham cracker crust and creamy cheesecake filling, top it with a berry compote for something extra special. Gluten-free friendly.
I used Tillamook 0% plain Greek yogurt, which isn’t nearly as tart as other 0% fat yogurts. If possible, use 2% of full-fat.
Low Fat Cheesecake
I opted to cut the sugar down to ⅔ cup for this recipe. If using a tart 0% yogurt, you may want to use ¾ cup sugar. If you decide to use vanilla yogurt, you could ust ⅔ cup sugar or even ½ cup sugar.
Room temperature ingredients are not optional, everything must be the same temperature (eggs, Greek yogurt and cream cheese) to ensure a smooth cheesecake batter.

I knew I wanted to make a lightened up cheesecake for you guys, so on Friday I went to the grocery store and got everything I needed.

Second of all, we have a long standing rivalry over who is right in a situation, or some fact, or directions… whatever, we compete 🙂
Needless to say… I just looked without saying anything just in case (gotta try to keep it as close as I can). I won’t keep you in suspense, they were there. Like I said… I don’t want to talk about it.
If you do get a crack, however, who cares?! It still tastes good and just smother it in fruit, lemon curd, or your topping of choice to hide it.
Creamy Greek Yogurt Key Lime Cheesecake
Yes! That’s exactly what I did to make this cheesecake lighter. I replaced some of the cream cheese and sour cream with the greek yogurt!
Once the cheesecake has cooked, remove from the oven (without sticking your oven mitt in it like I did, whoopsey) and let cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
If you’re really impatient, I tested this at 2 hours in the fridge, and it was still warm and a little gooey, but what’s bad about that? 😉

Cranberry Swirl Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Bites
You can make the cheesecakes about 3 days ahead of time. Keep them covered in the fridge with some foil or plastic wrap. If you are adding fresh fruit to the top, do this just before serving so that it’s fresh.
You can substitute the strawberries with any fresh fruits like blueberries or blackberries and make the sauce in the same way. Of course, you can also enjoy these cheesecakes without any toppings, or simply add some fresh fruit for a pop of color.
Greek yogurt gives the finished cheesecakes a subtle tang and is a great healthier alternative to sour cream. It’s also a great source of calcium, protein and contains probiotics.
