Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp (30ml) honey
- 1 pinch (1g) salt
- 16 oz (450g) low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (245g) plain Greek yogurt, strained
- 0.5 cup (120ml) maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1.5 cups (350ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
Instructions:
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, honey, and salt in a bowl until it resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan using the back of a spoon.
- Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to flash-set the crust.
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and devoid of lumps.
- Add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and lemon juice; mix on medium speed until the texture is glossy and fully integrated.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in three batches until no white streaks remain.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- Run a thin knife around the edge before releasing the springform pan.
