This cheesecake is a real lifesaver when you want a sweet treat without turning on the oven or dealing with complicated steps. It is much lighter than a traditional cheesecake because it relies on yogurt for that lovely tangy flavor and smooth texture.

Since there is no flour or butter involved, it is a great choice if you are looking for something quick and simple. My biggest tip is to make sure you use a thick Greek yogurt so your cheesecake sets up perfectly in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups thick Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and the sweetened condensed milk.

  2. 2

    Whisk the mixture until it is completely smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Pour in the fresh lemon juice and add the lemon zest.

  4. 4

    Stir everything together until the mixture thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Pour the cheesecake base into a small greased pan or serving dishes.

  6. 6

    Place it in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or until it is firm enough to slice.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. This dessert tastes best when served chilled, so keep it in the fridge until the very last minute before you are ready to eat.
