Ingredients

  • Cheesecake crust:
  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • Cheesecake filling:
  • 2 packs 8oz low fat cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 3 tbsp low fat Greek yogurt (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • Cheesecake topping:
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries - chopped
  • 2 tbsp agave nectar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pulse graham crackers in a blender, or just use graham cracker crumbs. Mix crumbs with coconut oil until combined.
  • Preheat oven to 325F (160 C). Line cupcake tin with foil cupcake liners. Press about 1/2 tbsp of crust into each cup.
  • Beat cream cheese for 1 minute on medium-high speed until fluffy. Add sugar, salt and vanilla. Mix on medium speed, until combined. Scrape the bowl and paddle as needed.
  • Add eggs one by one, mixing on low, heating well after each egg.
  • Add yogurt and mix until incorporated. Scrape bowl and paddle and mix again if needed, so all cream cheese is evenly incorporated.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, spoon mixture evenly into the cups, over the crust. Fill to the top.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes and take out. Let them cool at room temperature.
  • Cheesecakes will rise and crack, during baking and then centers will most likely sink. Don't worry, this provides the perfect space to place the topping.
  • Topping - combine strawberries and agave nectar in a pot over medium heat. Let them cook for around 15 minutes, until tender. Stir every 3-4 minutes.
  • Add vanilla, stir well and remove from heat. Let them cool at room temperature.
  • Serve mini cheesecakes with strawberry topping.
