Ingredients
  

For the cheesecake filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Low-fat cream cheese can be used for a lighter version.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for better flavor.
For the crust
  • 1 cup almond flour Can substitute with graham cracker crumbs.
  • 2 tbsp melted butter Butter helps bind the crust together.
  • 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener (optional) Optional, depending on your sweetness preference.
For the topping
  • 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, etc.) Fresh seasonal berries work best.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. In another bowl, mix the almond flour, melted butter, and sugar (if using) until it resembles a crumbly texture.
Assembly
  1. In serving jars, layer the almond crust mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of the cheesecake mixture, and then top with fresh berries.
  2. Repeat the layers until the jars are full.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Serve chilled for best taste. Add a sprig of mint or a drizzle of honey on top for an extra touch. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, keeping the lids on to maintain freshness.
