| Light No Bake Cheesecake |
Today I am sharing with you a recipe for low fat no bake cheesecake. I came across this easy and tasty recipe while prowling a board on Pinterest. I really liked the idea and decided to try it. I would like to give a credit for the original recipe to www.gimmesomeoven.com. The blog post on the recipe there is interesting and helpful.
Here is the recipe, which I changed a little to suit my taste:
It makes 6 small no bake cheesecakes in individual cups.

Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp melted coconut butter
No Bake Cheesecake
2 8oz (225gr) packs low fat cram cheese
1 cup low fat yogurt (must be strained, so the cheesecake doesn't get too watery)
1/4 cup Agave Sweetener (can use 1/4 cup honey)
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Method
To Make Graham Cracker Crust:
Stir together Graham Cracker crumbs with coconut butter until combined. Add 2 tablespoons of crust to each serving dish and pack down.
To Make The Cheesecake:
You can mix all ingredients together in a bowl by hand or use a food processor. I used my food processor. Blend them well and scoop mixture into each container over the crust. The amount of mixture you'll use depends on the size of container you have.
Refrigerate for 2 hours until firm. You can serve it with your favorite topping or plain.
Original recipe suggests to use low fat vanilla strained yogurt. The yogurt I used was Fage 0% fat plain and I just added 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to it. It was pretty thick and the cheesecake I made set up easily in less than 2 hours.
This recipe is great for any party and especially for Valentine's Day.
Enjoy!
