Yogurt cheesecake |
Technically this is not a cheesecake since
yogurt is not cheese. I hope the recipe naming police does not find me!
Texturally this is not quite a cheesecake
either. I associate cheesecakes with having a rich dense filling. This
cheeseless cheesecake has a 'lighter' filling, as the photo shows.

But it is delicious. I can imagine yogurt chocolate
cheesecake will produce a better texture. I will try this next time.
If you are keeping an eye on costs, this cheesecake
is cheaper since Greek or Turkish yogurt is much cheaper than cream cheese. This
means you can have 3-4 slices, with no guilt. But don’t blame me if you notice
the effects later.
In the photo you will see that the filling to
base ratio is a bit out. I used less filling and more base.
Ingredients
Base
⅓ cup almond meal
¾ cup plain flour
¼ cup caster (superfine) sugar
90g butter, chopped
Filling
3⅓ cup Greek yogurt
4 eggs
1⅓ cups caster sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ tablespoons cornflour
1½ tablespoons water
Directions
1. To make the base, place the almond meal, flour,
sugar and butter in a bowl. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until a rough
dough forms.
2. Line the base of a 20cm-round springform tin
with baking paper. Place the base mixture into the base and flatten. Bake at
150°C/350°F until light golden, about 12-15 minutes.
3.
To make the filling, mix cornflour and water until there are no lumps, Add
the rest of the ingredients and beat until the batter is smooth.
4.
Pour batter over the base and bake at 160°C/325°F until the centre is
almost set, about 40-50 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and run a metal spatula around
the rim of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. This helps prevent cracking. Let
the cheesecake cool for about 20-25 minutes before covering and placing in the
refrigerator. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight before serving.

Definitely like a no guilt recipe since i am working on changing my eating habits. Love the faux cheesecake for sure!
ReplyDeleteI like the term faux cheesecake:)
DeleteHaha! For me it's closer to a cheesecake than the US bland cream cheese based stuff ;-) and frankly I love it! It looks a bit like a moussey "cake" actually... I like the vanilla spots too. Always a pleasure to see the real thing. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo you are still not a big fan of cream cheese:)
DeletePhiladelphia is to cheese (which can be creamy too, if you mix fat fresh cheese) like margarine vs butter. First of all, obviously I hate the bland taste.
DeletePoint taken:)
