Description

This Light Greek Yogurt Jello Cheesecake is a refreshing and simple no-bake dessert that combines creamy vanilla Greek yogurt with a sugar-free cheesecake-flavored Jell-O pudding mix. With a crunchy graham cracker crust and topped with fresh strawberry slices, it’s a guilt-free treat perfect for a quick snack or a light dessert.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 sheet graham cracker (preferably Honey Maid for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 tsp sweetener
  • 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter

Filling

  • 5.3 oz vanilla Greek yogurt (Chobani recommended for thicker consistency)
  • 1.5 tbsp sugar-free cheesecake-flavored pudding mix (such as Jell-O)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp sweetener

Topping

  • 4 fresh strawberries, sliced into thin 1/8-inch rounds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, crush the graham cracker sheet until fine crumbs form. Combine these crumbs with 1/2 teaspoon of sweetener and 1 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter. Mix well until the mixture holds together slightly. Press this crumb mixture firmly into the base of your serving dish or small ramekins to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the filling: In another bowl, blend the vanilla Greek yogurt with 1.5 tablespoons of the sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of sweetener. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy consistency with no lumps.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour or spoon the yogurt mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth the top gently with a spatula or the back of a spoon to create an even surface.
  4. Add the topping: Arrange the thinly sliced fresh strawberries on top of the yogurt cheesecake layer in a decorative pattern. The strawberries add freshness, color, and natural sweetness.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and chill thoroughly. Once set, serve chilled for a light and creamy dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use a thick Greek yogurt like Chobani for the best texture.
  • You can substitute fresh strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries as desired.
  • Using a sugar-free pudding mix keeps this dessert light and lower in calories.
  • If you prefer a firmer set, allow chilling overnight.
  • This recipe yields 4 servings, perfect for small gatherings or individual desserts.
