Can I use yogurt instead of cream cheese for cheesecake?

Using yogurt instead of cream cheese for cheesecake can give you a lighter and tangier result, but it won’t have the same rich and creamy texture as traditional cheesecake. To maintain some of the richness, consider using a blend of Greek yogurt and cream cheese. This way, you get the tanginess from the yogurt while still keeping some of that creamy cheesecake goodness.

Greek yogurt cheesecake tastes delightfully creamy with a tangy twist, offering a lighter and fresher alternative to traditional cheesecake. It’s the perfect blend of rich and refreshing flavors, making each bite a deliciously satisfying experience. 

Yogurt Cheesecake with Blueberries

How to Make Cheesecake with Yogurt

Start by gathering your ingredients and baking supplies.

Make sure all your ingredients, especially the cream cheese and eggs, are at room temperature. This ensures a smooth and creamy cheesecake without lumps.

Create the base of your cheesecake – a graham cracker crust. Press firmly into a springform pan using the back of spoon and bake. 

Yogurt Cheesecake with Blueberries

For the cheesecake, blend cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sugar, flour, vanilla, lemon zest, and juice. Add eggs, mix gently, and pour over the crust. 

Using the blender to mix the cheesecake mixture gives it an airy texture. 

Bake until set, then cool and refrigerate.

Let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven with the door slightly open before transferring it to the fridge. This prevents drastic temperature changes that can cause cracks.

Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to regulate the temperature and prevent cracks. Wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in.

For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Yogurt Cheesecake with Blueberries

For the blueberry compote, cook blueberries with orange juice, sugar, flour, butter, lemon zest, and juice until thickened. Serve the cheesecake topped with the compote.

Store the finished product in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months. Just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.

    • favorite graham crackers
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup melted butter
    • tsp salt

    For the Cheesecake:

    • plain greek yogurt
    • 2 blocks of cream cheese (at room temperature)
    • 3 eggs
    • sugar
    • all purpose flour
    • vanilla extract
    • 1 lemon

    For the Blueberry Compote:

    • orange juice
    • sugar
    • flour
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 4 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries
    • 1 lemon

    Instructions

      1. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
      2. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers to a fine flour.
      3. In a large bowl, add graham cracker crumbs, butter, sugar and salt.
      4. Add the mixture to a springform pan. Press the crust into the bottom of the pan and up the sides.
      5. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to pack the crust down.
      6. Put the crust into the freezer.
      7. In the food processor, combine yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and zest.
      8. Combine until the mixture is creamy and mixed together.
      9. Take the crust out of the freezer and pour your batter into the crust, smoothing any bubbles and making sure it is even.
      10. Bake 45 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and slightly golden on top.
      11. Shut off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes as the oven cools down, this will help the top from cracking.
      12. Cool on a wire cooling rack and then refrigerate until the cheesecake is completely cooled.
      13. To make the blueberry sauce, mix together orange juice, sugar and flour in a medium saucepan.
      14. Boil, stir often.
      15. When the mixture thickens, add blueberries.
      16. Simmer on low for about 5 minutes, until most of the berries have burst.
      17. Add in lemon juice and zest.
      18. Cool. Serve over slices of the cheesecake.

    I'm not a cheesecake fan, but I'd try it for the blueberries. I use to live in Chino, CA, where all the dairies use to be before they moved them up north. I give it to the farmers though. They are our there before God wakes up tending to the farm. God bless all farmerst.
