Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 10 crisp biscuits of your choice finely crushed
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fine granulated sugar
  • 35 g unsalted butter melted
  • 200 g plain yogurt full-fat for creaminess
  • 200 g smooth cream cheese
  • 70 g fine sugar
  • 5 g powdered gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons hot water
  • 2 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest adds a bright citrus note
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances depth of flavor

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats, crush your crisp biscuits into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor for this or a zip-lock bag and a rolling pin to channel your inner chef. Mix the crushed biscuits with the granulated sugar and melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even base. Bake for about 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  • In a small bowl, combine the powdered gelatin with hot water. Stir well until fully dissolved. This step is crucial, as gelatin provides the structure that keeps your cheesecake from falling apart.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt and cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip them together until smooth. Add in the sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until everything is well blended. Finally, pour in the dissolved gelatin and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled biscuit base. Use a spatula to smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible. This allows the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. You can garnish it with your choice of fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or even some chocolate sauce for that extra flair. Slice, serve, and watch everyone enjoy a piece of this creamy delight.

Notes

  • Use Quality Ingredients
    Opt for high-quality cream cheese and yogurt. The flavors will shine brighter.
  • Ensure the Cheesecake Sets
    Be patient and let it set in the fridge long enough. The longer, the better it holds together.
  • Flavor Twists
    Experiment with different citrus juices; lime can bring a fun twist to the original recipe.
  • Serve Chilled
    This cheesecake is best served chilled. It enhances the texture and flavor.
  • Garnish Wisely
    Don’t skip the garnishes; they provide excellent contrast and visual appeal.
