Description
These guilt-free frozen yogurt bites offer the creamy, tangy taste of cheesecake with a fraction of the calories. Made with Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and fresh strawberries, they require no baking and are perfect for meal prep or a quick healthy dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240g) full-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2–3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 2 tablespoons low-sugar or no-sugar-added strawberry jam
- 1/2 cup (50g) graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips for dipping
Instructions
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press a thin layer of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each cup in a mini muffin pan (24-cup). Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
- Add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until combined and smooth, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly among the crust-lined cups (about 24 bites).
- Swirl the strawberry jam into the top of each bite or press diced strawberries into the top for decoration.
- Place the pan in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until rock solid.
- Once frozen, pop the bites out of the pan or molds. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly for a creamy texture.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Pat strawberries dry to prevent icy texture. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free yogurt and cream cheese, and coconut oil instead of butter. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
