Description

A refreshing no-bake dessert that combines creamy Greek yogurt and a sweet graham cracker crust, perfect for hot summer days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 full sheets graham crackers
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add melted butter and sugar, and pulse until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and refrigerate.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let stand for 5 minutes. Microwave for 20-30 seconds until dissolved.
  4. Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice, beating until combined. Pour in the cooled gelatin mixture and mix on low until incorporated.
  5. Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top. Tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. Once set, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 16 squares with a knife that’s been run under hot water for clean cuts. Serve as is or with toppings.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute with plant-based cream cheese and yogurt.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These squares can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding lemon or orange zest to the filling.
  • Top with fresh berries or fruit compote for a refreshing finish.
