Ingredients

For the Base
whole wheat biscuits
7 oz (200g)
skimmed milk
3 tbsp (50ml)
For the Cheesecake Cream
fat-free Greek yogurt
17.5 oz (500g)
Stevia
4 tsp
Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean or a few drops vanilla extract
For the Berry Compote
mixed berries
14 oz (400g)
Stevia
6 tsp (about 30g)

How to Make Greek Yogurt Cheesecake

Begin by blending the whole wheat biscuits until they resemble fine crumbs. Pour in the skimmed milk and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed.

Divide the mixture among four serving glasses and press it firmly into the bottom of each glass to create the cheesecake base.

In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, stevia, and vanilla. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and evenly sweetened.

Spoon the yogurt mixture over the biscuit bases and smooth the tops. Transfer the glasses to the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour.

Meanwhile, prepare the berry compote. Place the mixed berries and stevia in a small saucepan and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and releases its juices.

Allow the compote to cool completely before using.

Once chilled, top each cheesecake with a generous spoonful of berry compote. Decorate with fresh berries if desired and serve cold.

Creamy, fruity, and naturally lighter than traditional cheesecake, these cheesecake cups are the perfect guilt-free treat.
