Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Mixture
- 32 oz Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/3 cup powdered sweetener (only if using unsweetened yogurt)
Base Layers
- 6 whole graham crackers (or substitute with other cookies or a keto option)
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced (or fruit of choice, optional)
Instructions
- Sweeten the Yogurt: If using unsweetened yogurt, whisk in the powdered sweetener until fully combined to add a touch of sweetness.
- Layer Yogurt Base: Spread about one-fourth of the sweetened yogurt evenly across the bottom of an 8-inch square pan, creating a smooth base layer.
- Add Graham Cracker Layer: Break the graham crackers (or cookies) into large pieces and arrange them in a single layer over the yogurt, providing a crunchy texture.
- Layer Fruit: Place a layer of sliced strawberries or your preferred fruit on top of the graham crackers for freshness and flavor.
- Repeat Layers: Add a second layer of yogurt over the fruit, then continue alternating layers of graham crackers, berries, and yogurt until all ingredients are used.
- Chill to Set: Cover the pan loosely, ensuring there is a small opening for moisture to escape, then refrigerate for at least eight hours or overnight, allowing the cheesecake to thicken and firm up.
- Serve: Slice into portions and enjoy as a nutritious breakfast, snack, or dessert.
- Storage: Cover leftovers tightly after one day and refrigerate for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months. Thaw before serving.

- Substitute graham crackers with keto-friendly cookies for a low-carb version.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sweetener to taste.
- Optional fruit layers can be swapped for blueberries, raspberries, or any seasonal fruit.
