Ingredients

• 6 sheets Low-fat graham crackers
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Powdered gelatin
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 whole Zest of lemon
• 1 whole Zest of orange

Directions

Step 1

Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Alternatively, place the crackers in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 2

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Combine the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs in a mixing bowl and stir until well combined.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to press it down firmly. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a small bowl, add the powdered gelatin and water. Stir to combine and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Then, microwave the gelatin mixture for about 10 seconds or until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the low-fat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the non-fat Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, orange juice, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 6

Gently fold in the dissolved gelatin mixture, followed by the lemon zest and orange zest. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is fully set.

Step 9

Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan carefully. Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with additional citrus zest or fresh fruit.
