Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crumbs: 3/4 cup (90 g)
Unsalted Butter, melted: 2 tbsp (28 g)
Honey or Maple Syrup: 1 tbsp (20 g)
Cream Cheese, softened: 8 oz (225 g)
Greek Yogurt, plain or vanilla: 1/2 cup (120 g)
Powdered Sugar: 1/3 cup (40 g)
Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp (5 ml)
Lemon Juice: 2 tsp (10 ml), divided
Fresh Strawberries, diced: 1 cup (150 g)
Honey or Maple Syrup (for strawberries): 1 to 2 tbsp (20 to 40 g)
Pinch of Salt (optional): 1 pinch
Instructions
1. Make the crust: Mix graham crumbs, melted butter, and honey or maple syrup until evenly moistened. Divide into 6 small cups or jars and press firmly.
2. Whip the filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, 30 to 60 seconds. Add Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice. Beat until fluffy and creamy, 60 to 90 seconds.
3. Layer: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the tops.
4. Make strawberry topping: Toss diced strawberries with 1 to 2 tbsp (20 to 40 g) honey or maple syrup and 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice.
5. Finish and chill: Spoon strawberries on top. Chill at least 30 minutes, or 1 to 2 hours for the cleanest layers. Serve cold.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the thickest, creamiest texture.
For neat layers, pipe the filling with a zip-top bag with the corner snipped.
Taste your strawberries first. Add only as much sweetener as needed.
Make-ahead: Assemble up to 24 hours ahead and keep covered in the fridge.
Swap crust: Vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits work great. For gluten-free, use gluten-free grahams.
