Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 0.5 cup Fresh lime juice
• 2 teaspoons Lime zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the low-fat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully combined.

Step 5

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Tap the pan gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles in the batter.

Step 8

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.

Step 9

Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 10

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to fully set.

Step 11

Before serving, garnish with additional lime zest or whipped cream, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
