how to make No-Bake Berry Yogurt Cheesecakes

Ingredients:

• 16 ounces fresh strawberries (washed, hulled, and diced)
• 6 ounces fresh raspberries (washed and patted dry)
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 9 rectangular graham crackers (1 sleeve of crackers, crushed into fine crumbs)
• 4 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 16 ounces light cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (just a squeeze)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup low-fat Greek vanilla yogurt (see note)

Directions:

1. For the berry topping, combine the strawberries, raspberries, and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir well and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This helps the sugar draw out the juices from the berries.
2. For the crust, mix the crushed graham crackers with sugar and melted butter until combined. Divide this mixture evenly among 8 small bowls or ramekins, then press the mixture lightly into the bottom.
3. For the cheesecake filling, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a medium bowl until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Add the Greek yogurt and beat until the mixture is fluffy and well-combined, about 30 seconds to a minute.
4. Stir the berry mixture again. Spoon some fruit on top of each crust, saving half for later.
5. Add an even amount of cheesecake filling on top of the fruit layer, about 1/3 cup per dish. Finish each dessert with a spoonful of the leftover berry mixture.
6. Refrigerate the cheesecakes until you’re ready to serve.
