Skinny Peaches & Cream Greek Yogurt Cheesecake, I have lightened the luscious, rich cheesecake without losing any delectable flavor!

I have decided to run another Half Marathon.

I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Sane or Crazy.

Running is so addictive. Running makes me feel awesome. My husband thinks that’s crazy. He doesn’t understand the rush. But, I’ve run my whole life, I don’t know anything else.

Racing is addictive. Once you race, you want to race again to see if you can do a personal best (or pr, a personal record). If you don’t do better, you have to try again, because well, you can’t stop when you did worse!! See how this goes?

But, I do eat better when I’m training for a run. I’m more conscious of eating good, quality food with all the nutrients I need to power a run. As I’ve stated time and again on the blog, I have a sweet tooth. I love desserts but, I’m trying to get healthier desserts.

Skinny Peaches & Cream Greek Yogurt Cheesecake

Greek yogurt is wonderful and I have been incorporating it into more and more dishes. Everything that I previously used sour cream in, I now substitute Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt, it’s creamier and tangier. I get non-fat, plain Greek yogurt and add it to all kinds of recipes.

Ingredients

CRUST

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • teaspoon salt

CHEESECAKE

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt fat-free plain
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peaches fresh, chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

CRUST

  • Combine flour, syrup, oil, and salt, mixing with a fork until clumpy and resembles coarse sand.
  • Pour into a 10-inch tart pan or springform pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 350 degrees, 15 minutes, or until lightly brown.
  • Remove from oven and fill with desired filling. Crust does not have to cool before filling.

CHEESECAKE

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a blender, add eggs, sugar, yogurt, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Add cornstarch, salt, and peaches, Pulse 4 to 5 times until blended but the peaches aren't pureed. You still want small chunks of peaches. Pour into prepared crust..
  • Bake 30 minutes or until the center is set and edges are lightly brown. Turn the oven off and open the door. Allow it to sit in the oven for 5 minutes to gently cool, before removing.
  • Cool completely on the countertop before refrigerating. Refrigerate at least 2 to 3 hours before releasing the springform pan.
  • Serve cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Add a 9x9-inch casserole dish with 1-inch of water in the bottom of it to oven while cooking. This will prevent the cheesecake from cracking. I cooked in a 10-inch springform pan. Cheesecake will be about 1 and 1/2 inches tall.

    Are you sure about kcal in a serving? Cause only the crust has around 1000 kcal and that is almost 100 per serving. And where are the rest ingridients?
