Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust:

- 3 tbsp melted light butter or coconut oil
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup light whipped topping (such as lite Cool Whip)
- Fresh berries for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and honey until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or an 8×8-inch baking dish to form the crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, and mix until well combined and creamy. Gently fold in the light whipped topping until the mixture is fluffy and smooth. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set. Top with fresh berries just before serving, if desired.
