Equipment

  • Springform pan, tart pan, or pie plate

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cookie crumbs or cracker crumbs If using unsweetened crackers, add 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  • 1 stick Unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 8 ounce Cream cheese bars, room temperature If you are using homemade cream cheese, you will need 2 cups of cream cheese. Also, if you use homemade cream cheese that is unsalted, you will need to add a pinch of salt.
  • 3/4 cup Confectioners sugar (also known as powdered sugar or icing sugar) You can increase the amount of sugar to 1 cup for a sweeter cheesecake or decrease to 1/2 cup for a less sweet cheesecake.
  • 1 cup Full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract You can use homemade vanilla extract.
  • 1 cup Heavy cream, whipped
  • Fresh fruit, optional To decorate that cheesecake as pictured, you will need fresh strawberries and fresh blueberries.

Instructions

  • Mix crumbs with melted butter and press evenly onto the bottom of your desired pan. Come up the sides of the pan approximately 1 inch. Refrigerate.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients except for the heavy cream and fresh fruit. Beat the mixture on high with an electric mixer for 3 minutes. If mixing your ingredients by hand, the process will take about 5 minutes or more. Make sure that your "batter" is completely smooth and lump-free.
  • Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese "batter" until completely incorporated.
  • Remove your pan with the crumb crust from your refrigerator and pour in the "batter." Smooth the top of the poured batter and then cover the top of the pan with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Make sure you do not touch the top of the "batter" when you cover it. Place the pan back into the refrigerator and allow the cheesecake to chill for 8 hours or more.
  • After the chilling time as passed, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator, decorate, and serve immediately. If you do not serve all of the cheesecake at this time, return it to the refrigerator to keep cold. Cheesecake will stay fresh, refrigerated, up to three days.
