Greek Yogurt Cheesecake for Two
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Yield: 2 servings
 
Ingredients
Crust:
  • ¼ cup crushed crackers (I used 6 saltine crackers)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
Filling:
  • ¾ cup (175 g) plain, low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 5 tablespoons (60 g) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping:
  • Anything you like, such as jam, chocolate sauce, caramel, etc. (I used strawberry preserves)
Other:
  • Butter, to grease the pan
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 4-inch diameter springform pan with butter.
  2. Combine all crust ingredients in a small bowl. Pour into the prepared pan and lightly press down with your fingers. Bake until lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
  3. Combine all filling ingredients (except the vanilla) in a medium-sized, thick-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly. Once simmering, it will take about 1 minute to thicken to a stiff pudding consistency; when it does that, turn the heat off and whisk in the vanilla.
  4. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and bake 20 minutes.
  5. Turn the oven off and let the cake cool completely in the oven.
  6. Once completely cooled to room temperature, refrigerate the cake 2 hours to chill.
  7. Let the cake sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Right before serving, top with any topping you like.
