Notes

  • You can make it with thick Greek yogurt, or with custard-style yogurt. I love the way it tastes with custard yogurt because it's sweeter and just as creamy. Whatever you have on hand will work.
  • This tastes best when it has a couple of hours to set in the fridge, but you can also devour it right away if you run out of patience.
  • I used crushed graham crackers to give the taste and texture of a crust, without having to actually make a crust. I'm here for simplicity!
  • You could turn this into more of a parfait with alternating layers of crushed graham crackers, cheesecake mixture, and fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
  • Garnish with different types of berries, use macerated strawberries for a syrupy topping, or use food coloring to dye whipped cream any color you want.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional garnishes.
Storage: Store no bake cheesecake cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
