minutesIngredients
– 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 tbsp granulated sugar
– 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Combine 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs, 0.5 cup melted butter, and 2 tbsp sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan using the bottom of a measuring cup to create an even layer.
4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes at 325°F until lightly golden, then cool completely on a wire rack.
5. Beat 24 oz room temperature cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until completely smooth and lump-free.
6. Gradually add 1 cup sugar while continuing to beat for another 2 minutes until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
7. Mix in 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1 tsp vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
8. Add 3 eggs one at a time, beating for just 15 seconds after each addition until combined—overmixing incorporates too much air and can cause cracking.
9. Gently fold in 1 tbsp flour with a spatula until no white streaks remain.
10. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
11. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake at 325°F for 45-55 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
12. Turn off the oven, crack the door open with a wooden spoon, and let the cheesecake cool slowly inside for 1 hour to prevent dramatic temperature changes that cause sinking.
13. Remove from oven and run a thin knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan—this prevents the surface from tearing as it contracts during cooling.
14. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, though overnight is ideal for the perfect firm-yet-creamy texture.
Buttery graham cracker crust gives way to a tangy, velvety filling that somehow feels both decadent and light. The Greek yogurt adds a subtle brightness that cuts through the richness, making each forkful dangerously easy to devour. Try serving chilled slices with a drizzle of raspberry coulis or a sprinkle of lemon zest for an extra pop that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance.
