Ingredients:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup erythritol (or other sugar substitute)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8-10 graham cracker sheets
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • Fresh berries for topping (optional)


Instructions:
  1. In a food processor or blender, pulse the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until well combined. Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly between 6 ramekins or small cups, pressing down to form a crust base. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the Greek yogurt until well incorporated.
  3. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Keep beating for 2-3 minutes until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  4. Divide the lemon cheesecake filling evenly among the ramekins, spooning or piping it over the graham cracker crust.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecakes to set.
  6. When ready to serve, top each cheesecake cup with fresh berries if desired.
Thanks to the erythritol, Greek yogurt, and lack of added sugars, they're diabetic-friendly and guilt-free! 🫶 The bright lemon flavor is like a burst of sunshine in each bite. Who needs regular cheesecake when you can indulge in this lightened-up version? Dessert is served! 🍋🍰
