Greek Yogurt Cheesecake.........What???

Yes, it's absolutely true, you can make a delicious cheesecake using greek yogurt! And it is so simple to make.  You have got to try it and see for yourself just how easy it is to make.  The best part is that using greek yogurt will save you on a few calories which is a bonus this time of year!!


Makes one 9" round springform pan

For the crust:

1 cup crushed graham wafers
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar

pulse everything together in a processor.  transfer to your pan.  press firmly with your fingers to coat the bottom of the pan and slightly up the sides.

Filling:

2 cups greek vanilla yogurt  (I used 2%, but Im sure any kind will do)
4 eggs
1TBSP corn starch

Whip everything in a mixer.  (see......I told you it was easy!!)

pour into pan.

Bake at 350' until slightly golden around sides, or sides start to come away from the pan.  about 35 minutes.

Topping:

You can certainly top this cheesecake with canned pie filling, but I made a blueberry topping very easily.

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
2TBSP cornstarch

Heat all together in a small saucepan on medium heat, once it comes to a boil and thickens remove from heat.  Pour onto warm cheesecake and let the cheesecake come to room temperature, then refrigerate.  Best if made a day ahead, but if you can't, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours in advance.


Enjoy!
