I don’t think that there has been a time in my life when someone asked me “would you like cheesecake?” and I said no. I don’t have that self control. If anything sweet is presented in front of me, I will gobble it down in seconds flat.
But why? Why must cheesecake be made with such unhealthy ingredients? If only it was made out of broccoli and spinach, and still taste delicious.
Now this cheesecake is made with yogurt. Greek yogurt to be precise. It’s not broccoli and spinach, but heck, it’s close enough.
What can I say about this other than it’s fantastic! It has a lighter taste to it than cheesecake, but that certainly does not take away from the flavour. And it has raspberries on top! See, this thing is trying so hard to be healthy, it would be a shame if you didn’t make it.

Greek Yogurt Raspberry Cheesecake
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
Cheesecake
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- Spray a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crust ingredients until fully incorporated. Press into the the bottom of the prepared springform pan and 1 inch up the sides. Bake for 8 minutes and remove to cool slightly.
- In a blender or a food processor, combine the yogurt, sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla and cornstarch and blend until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the baked and slightly cooled crust and bake (at 350˚F) for 35 minutes. The cheesecake should be jiggly in the centre but look done.
- Let the cheesecake cool, then arrange the raspberries on top of the cake. Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours before taking it out of the springform pan.
I love this! I made it once but tried making my own crust which didn't work out too well. I need to do this again… Your cheesecake looks very lovely!
This recipe looks like a keeper. I’m going to give it a try this weekend when my family is in town! Thanks!

Hi my dear! Now I've always been a fan of cheesecakes too! but last time I tried making one with Greek Yogurt and Cottage Cheese. It tasted so bad I just wanted to throw it all out. I'm glad yours turned out so well though! I'll definitely bookmark this and try it sometime when Greek Yogurt goes on sale in Superstore! 🙂

Yeah, I think Greek yogurt can substitute for broccoli and spinach, too. 😉 Actually this is a pretty good looking cheesecake, and healthier than the usual. Definitely worth trying – thankis.
your cake looks stunning ^^ can't believe it's made with greek yogurt and no cream cheese! i must try this soon!
I am going to try to make this. I agree – it is made with Greek yogurt and has raspberries on top – it’s practically health food! Your pics are so gorgeous that I think my mouth may actually be watering!
I hope you try it. This might be the recipe that I have made the most ever!
This looks delicious!! I love how simple the recipe seems. I might actually be able to successfully make this one!
Right?? I am not a fancy baker by any means, so this is on my level 😉
Yuuuum! I don’t think I’d ever say no too to such a delicious cheese cake! One made from Greek yoghurt just sounds even more scrumptious! And the pictures are lovely!
Thanks Dalene! I make it at least once every summer 🙂
Yes please! I just LOVE cheesecake. This one sounds wonderful. I’ll have to try it out one day.

Galaxy Chocolate Cheesecake?? That sounds amazing! I would love the recipe to that!
Not a big fan of cheese cakes but I had tried something similar by substituting the cream in a Black Forest cake with yogurt and it had turned out great.
That sounds really good! I have yet to try making a black forest cake, but that is on my to-do list 😉
This is just the cheesecake recipe I was hoping to find… with greek yogurt! Making it this weekend!

Now that’s an interesting take on making a cheesecake. I’ve never tried one like this before, I bet it would taste amazing!
It’s seriously one of my favourites, and it’s almost guilt free 😉
You had me at cheesecake! This looks so yummy . The recipe is just right up my alley. I am going to try making this. I know my family is going to like it.
I am sure they will!! Let me know if you give it a go!
This cheesecake looks delicious! i’m all for a healthy alternative
Same here! Thanks Sondra!
Well I was just dreaming of how to turn a creamcheese cake into a less guilt cake. And then, here it comes. I am actually on intermitent diet. But, I want to watch my calories too. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
I have so many colleagues on that diet. Good luck with it, and thank you!
This raspberry cheesecake recipe looks so delicious. The Greek yogurt makes it a healthier option.
It is so good!! I always have Greek yogurt in the fridge
I dont think I ever declined cheesecake either. I never had yogurt cheesecake i bet this was amazing.
You must try it! It is so good!
What a cool post! This looks great, cheesecake is a great dessert. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thanks! It is one of my favourites!
I was trying to find a recipe for cheese cake that used ALL Greek yogurt and NO cream cheese, and yours was one of the few I found (most were half/half). I made it last night and it is DELICIOUS! I think most people wouldn’t even realize that there’s no cream cheese in it. My husband and I are both cheesecake lovers, and it would fool us. It’s a great alternative, especially for lactose intolerant people sensitive to cream cheese.
Yay!! I am so glad you liked it! It is definitely my go-to cheesecake 🙂
