Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs About 10 Sheets, Gluten Free if needed
- 5 Tbsp Salted Butter, Melted
Cheesecake filling
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 3/4 cup Plain 0% Greek Yogurt
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg Plus 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest (Optional)
- 1 Tbsp Arrowroot Starch or Cornstarch
Strawberry topping optional
- Fresh Sliced Strawberries
Directions
- Heat oven to 350° F and set a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare the crust. Combine graham crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Add 1 and 1 half Tbsp to each liner and press firmly. Bake 5 to 6 minutes and let cool slightly.
- Make the filling. Beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add yogurt, sugar, egg and egg yolk, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest and starch. Mix gently until combined and smooth without whipping air into the batter.
- Spoon the filling evenly into each crust. Bake 17 to 20 minutes, removing them when the centers have a soft set.
- Allow the bites to cool at room temperature before chilling for at least 3 hours. Add sliced strawberries just before serving.
Pro-Tips

- Avoid overmixing to keep the filling dense and creamy.
- Chill thoroughly for a firm and smooth bite every time.
- Choose lighter toppings like fresh berries to support calorie awareness.
- Make a full batch and enjoy them throughout the week as a planned treat.
