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.

- 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

Instructions
CRUST
- Combine flour, syrup, oil, and salt, mixing with a fork until clumpy and resembles coarse sand.

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..

- Cool completely on the countertop before refrigerating. Refrigerate at least 2 to 3 hours before releasing the springform pan.

I love this recipe, Paula! I could definitely stand to skinny up my desserts a little. I’m impressed with your half marathon. I keep saying I’m going to do a couch to 5K program but haven’t gotten much farther than talking about it.
I think the hardest part is gettnig started and getting in that routine. As crazy as it sounds, I started liking those long runs and the challenge of pushing myself farther and farther. And then when there’s cheesecake to come home to, well that just makes it better 😉
this is wonderful Paula ! i am certainly trying this soon.
Thanks so much, I am really pleased with it.
Hopping over from The Pin Junkie! Wow! This looks amazing!! I love plain Greek yogurt. I’ve been using it as a substitute for sour cream and ranch (with the Hidden Valley Ranch packet mixed in) just a couple months ago!! I’d love to try this!! Good for you on your running and discipline!!
Thanks so much, I converted to Greek yogurt and never purchase reg yogurt or sour cream any more. Love the stuff and I was really pleased at how this turned out
Your Cheesecake looks really great and I just happen to have some fresh juicy peaches at home! Good pictures too! Pinned and shared!
OH Deb, I’m working on my pics, but I still have so far to go. But, thank you very much for noticing!
It is hard to believe that something that looks that good could actually be good for you! I think the addition of Green Yogurt is great!
haha! I know! Good and good for you, that doesn’t happen often!
A cheesecake that I can eat…YEAH! I will definitely have to try this out 🙂
oh yay!! It’s really good, Lisa. Creamy. Light. Hope you like it!
What a gorgeous cheesecake! I can’t wait to try this recipe. It looks lite and oh, so good!
Thank you! I really enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve heard of greek yogurt cheesecake but have yet to make it. This looks delicious!
Its really creamy and has very very close texture to ‘real’ cheesecakes, slightly lighter. I was very pleased with it.
Thanks for stopping by!
I never thought of that! How awesome
Thank you, I was pleased with it! Thanks for stopping by!
This looks amazing! I’ve been playing with some Greek yogurt cheesecakes and I love them. Cheesecake can be too heavy, but yours looks perfect!
You know, I was worried about it, but was delighted with the outcome. Now I’m addicted and it’s prob not calorie smart to eat a 1/4 of it, but man it was good! Thanks fo your kind words and for stopping by.
Congrats on the half mary! I’m so opposite. I ran a few races and hated it! Haha! Too many people, I’m a dork. However it looks like you have the perfect cheesecake to celebrate with.
I don’t like running with people either 🙂 My husband hates HATES running, I’ve tried and tried. Thanks for stopping by!
I love a good cheese cake and I love it even better when it has been lightened up. Great recipe. Currently I am sticking to 5K races. I have entered two so far and I have another one in Sept. Way to go.
Thank you! I LOVED this cheesecake, I really couldn’t believe it was so smooth tasting. I’m not fast enough for 5Ks, I’m just stubborn enough to not stop and slug it out for the distances 😉
This looks so tasty!!! We’re moving to Oregon this month from Arizona. I love running too so one of the things I’m excited about is being able to run outside all year long!
Oh definitely! I run outside all year, but it does get cold here a few days, my cutoff for outside is 22 degrees. I don’t know how I came to that number! 🙂 Good luck with your move!
What a magnificent cheesecake! And I love that it’s a lightened up version!!! Brilliant!
Skinny cheesecake!!!! I could hug you right now.
You are so funny, let’s be besties!!!
It is great that you are a runner Paula! I am going to cheer you on “Go Paula! Go!” This cheesecake looks delicious. I have heard so many persons say that they love cheesecake and I have never eaten it. I must give it a try. I have had yogurt and know it is good for one’s health.
I didn’t like cheesecake for a long time, but a few years ago I tried it again and I’ve been hooked. Give it a try.
