No-Bake Cheesecake Bars
If you’re a fan of cheesecake but don’t want to spend hours baking it, these no-bake cheesecake bars are perfect for you. Mix cream cheese, whipped cream, Greek yogurt, and a sweetener of your choice (such as honey, sugar, or syrup) in a bowl. Optionally, you can add a dash of lemon or lime juice for a little extra zing, and vanilla extract to tie it all together.
Crush some graham crackers into a powder and mix them with melted butter and sugar. The mixture should look like wet sand. Form the mixture into an even layer at the bottom of a baking dish. Pour the cheesecake mixture on top of the crust and refrigerate for a few hours until it’s set.
