Ingredients
Scale
Crust Layer
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar
- Pinch of salt
Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole)
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest + 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Raspberry Topping/Swirl
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1–2 tbsp sugar or honey (to taste)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Optional: 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (for a thicker sauce)
Garnish
- Fresh raspberries, crushed graham, or mint
Instructions
- Make crust:
Mix graham crumbs, melted butter, sweetener, and salt. Divide among jars (about 2 tbsp each) and gently press. - Cheesecake filling:
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon. Beat until creamy and lump-free. Spoon or pipe over crust. - Raspberry layer:
In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sweetener, and lemon; simmer 2–3 minutes, lightly mashing. For a thicker topping, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook 30–60 seconds. Cool to room temp. - Assemble & chill:
Spoon raspberry topping over cheesecake layer (swirl with a toothpick if you like). Cover and chill at least 2 hours to set. - Serve:
Garnish with fresh berries and a sprinkle of crumbs. Keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use whole-milk Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture; 2% also works well.
- For a lower-sugar option, sweeten with maple syrup or a zero-cal sweetener to taste.
- Swap raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries.
