Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make No-Bake Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Delight.
Step 1
To create a delicious crust for your cheesecake, start by melting butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Keep an eye on it as it cooks for about 15 minutes, allowing it to become fragrant and develop those lovely brown bits at the bottom.
Step 3
Remember, patience is key here—don’t crank up the heat, or you risk burning the butter.
Step 4
While the butter is working its magic, grab your food processor and toss in graham crackers, dark brown sugar, and a pinch of sea salt.
Step 5
Pulse the mixture until it transforms into fine crumbs that will form the base of your crust.
Step 6
Once your butter is perfectly browned, carefully pour it into the crumb mixture while the food processor is still running.
Step 7
Blend everything together until it’s well combined.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to shape your crust! Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
Step 9
For the best results, pop the crust in the freezer for 20 minutes or refrigerate it for an hour to let it set.
Step 10
Moving on to the filling, start by combining gelatin and cold water in a small bowl.
Step 11
Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then give it a quick zap in the microwave for around 10 seconds until the gelatin dissolves completely.
Step 12
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer for about 30 seconds until it’s smooth.
Step 13
Next, add Greek yogurt, white sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and vanilla extract.
Step 14
Keep mixing until everything is beautifully blended, then gently fold in the dissolved gelatin.
Step 15
Pour this luscious filling into your chilled crust, spreading it evenly for a perfect finish.
Step 16
Now, let it chill in the refrigerator until the cheesecake is set, which should take about 2 hours.
Step 17
For a delightful topping, mix fresh blueberries, brown sugar, poppy seeds, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl.
Step 18
Just before serving, spoon this vibrant mixture over your cheesecake for a burst of flavor.
Step 19
Enjoy every creamy, fruity bite of your homemade cheesecake!.
