Lightened-Up Greek Yogurt Cheesecake with Date Caramel Drizzle
Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic cheesecake dessert that’s been reimagined with nonfat Greek yogurt and a hint of vanilla protein boost. The creamy filling rests on a delicate almond flour and date crust, while a drizzle of homemade date caramel offers a naturally sweet finish without overpowering the light, tangy notes of the cheesecake. Perfectly portioned for a satisfying treat any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
170g Nonfat Greek Yogurt
113g Low-Fat Cream Cheese
2 Egg Whites (66g total)
30g Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1/4 cup Almond Flour (28g)
2 Pitted Dates for crust (48g total)
1 tsp Coconut Oil (5g)
1 Pitted Date for caramel drizzle (24g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a small springform pan by lightly greasing it.
In a food processor, combine the almond flour, pitted dates (for the crust), and coconut oil. Process until the mixture becomes a sticky, cohesive crumb. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the pan to create an even crust layer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, and egg whites until smooth and well combined.
Mix in the vanilla whey protein powder until the filling is creamy and uniform. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed using your preferred natural sweetener.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges begin to set. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to firm up.
For the date caramel drizzle, blend the pitted date (for the drizzle) with a splash of warm water or almond milk until smooth and pourable. Optionally, add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
Drizzle the date caramel uniformly over each serving just before serving. Enjoy your lightened-up Greek yogurt cheesecake as a refreshing treat suitable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
