Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Cups Recipe
I’ve been doing a lot of “Pinterest research” looking for a cheesecake recipe that is tasty and relatively low in calories — I know, I live in a dream world. BUT the good news is after all my searching, I combined several ideas and came up with this cheesecake variation that is creamy, tasty and can be served in a variety of ways! I tried it piped onto graham crackers with fresh berries, in single-serving cups with crushed graham crackers, and even frozen as an ice cream treat. You could even put it out at a party as a sweet dip for fruit. I suggest going with the single-serve method, but do what you like!
