WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS

SIMPLE TO MAKE- With so few ingredients and steps this cheesecake is one of the easiest desserts to make. You can even buy a pre-made crust if you prefer.

LIGHT & FRESH- No bake cheesecakes are so light in comparison to a baked cheesecake because they use less cream cheese and don't use eggs.

LOWER FAT/HIGHER PROTEIN- This was made with low fat ingredients and greek yogurt to help add some protein in while keeping it so smooth and creamy.

INGREDIENT NOTES

• Cream Cheese- Make sure that your cream cheese is room temp so that when mixing you don't get left with little clumps of cheese.
• Greek Yogurt- Make sure this is also room temp. I used plain low-fat greek yogurt, but you could sub in any flavor you like.
• Whipped Topping- I used cool whip, but you can also make your own whip cream if you prefer.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

STEP ONE: Stir graham cracker crust ingredients together. Pour into a 9 inch pie plate and pack it tightly along the sides and bottom. I like to use a ⅓ measuring cup to help me pat it into place. Freeze for 10-20 minutes while mixing the cheesecake together.

STEP TWO: In a medium bowl beat soft cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.

STEP THREE: Blend in greek yogurt and vanilla until mixed together completely. Fold in whipped topping.

STEP FOUR: Pour into prepared pie crust. Chill for 4 hours. Top with berries or pie filling when serving.

EXPERT BAKING TIPS

Make sure that your cream cheese and greek yogurt are room temperature before mixing. This will help ensure a smooth cheesecake with no lumps.

You could make these into individual cheesecakes in muffin tin, or small cups. They would be perfect for serving at a party or shower.

I like to serve this topped with fresh berries, but a pie filling would taste great also.

FAQ

STORING AND FREEZING

5 ingredient no bake cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days while still remaining fresh. The crust will begin to soften after a few days, but it is still fine to eat. I would recommend not topping with fruit until ready to serve.

FREEZING

You can freeze this no bake cheesecake, just make sure you allow it to sit out a bit before serving, or the crust might be too hard to cut through.
