INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (170g)
2 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese (56g)
2 Egg Whites (66g)
1/4 cup Light Graham Cracker Crumbs (28g)
1 Medjool Date (24g)
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
A pinch of Stevia
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F if you prefer a slightly baked base texture, or set aside if serving as a no-bake dessert.
In a small bowl, combine the light graham cracker crumbs with a tiny pinch of stevia if extra sweetness is desired. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a small, springform or pie dish to form an even base.
In a medium bowl, blend the nonfat Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, and egg whites until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and a small pinch more stevia if desired, mixing well to incorporate.
Pour the creamy filling onto the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
For the date caramel drizzle, pit the Medjool date and blend it with a small amount of warm water (a teaspoon at a time) until a smooth, thick paste forms. Adjust the consistency with extra water if needed.
Drizzle the date caramel sauce evenly over the cheesecake layer.
Optionally, bake the assembled cheesecake for 15 minutes at 350°F to set the filling lightly, then let cool. If serving no-bake, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up the filling before enjoying.
Slice and serve chilled as a refreshing, protein-packed treat any time of day.
