Ingredients

CRUST:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoon butter, melted

CHEESECAKE:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup full fat yogurt
  • cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 320 F and line a 9 muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a blender make fine crumbs of graham crackers and add the melted butter and stir until crumbs are completely moistened.
  • Portion about 2-3 teaspoons of the crust mixture into each liner in your prepared muffin tin. Use a spoon to press down crumbs so they are evenly packed into the bottom of each liner. Set aside while you prepare your cheesecake filling.

CHEESECAKE FILLING

  • In a large bowl or in a stand mixer beat the cream cheese on a low setting for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add sugar, yogurt and lemon juice and beat additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Now add egg, vanilla and flour and beat just to combine (do not over beat at this stage).
  • Evenly divide batter into muffin tin liners.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely at room temperature and then refrigerate overnight.
  • Decorate with your favorite toppings.
