Recipe at a Glance

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Servings: 4

Ingredients

Creamy Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz low-fat cream cheese (softened) or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey or stevia (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (for a tangy kick)

Crunchy Graham Cracker Layer

  • 4 graham crackers, crushed (or use almond flour for a low-carb option)

Fresh Berry Topping

  • 1/2 cup strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • Optional: A sprinkle of chia seeds or shredded coconut for texture

How to Make It

1. Prepare the cheesecake filling – In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese or Greek yogurt. Pour in the honey (or stevia), vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Using a spoon or hand mixer, stir everything together until smooth and creamy. If the mixture seems too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or yogurt to loosen it up.

2. Crush the graham crackers – Place the graham crackers in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs. If you prefer a chunkier texture, leave some slightly larger pieces. For a low-carb version, swap the graham crackers with a mix of crushed nuts and a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor.

3. Assemble the layers – Grab four small cups, jars, or dessert glasses. Spoon about one to two tablespoons of crushed graham crackers into each cup, pressing down lightly to create a firm base. Add a generous layer of the cheesecake filling on top, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.

4. Top with fresh berries – Evenly distribute the diced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the cheesecake layer. For a little extra texture, sprinkle with chia seeds, shredded coconut, or even a handful of granola.

5. Chill or serve immediately – These can be enjoyed right away, but if you prefer a firmer consistency, place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. The chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and gives the filling a more structured texture.

Tips & Tricks

  • Make it ahead – These keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just add the berries right before serving to keep them fresh.
  • Dairy-free option – Swap cream cheese for coconut yogurt for a plant-based version.
  • Low-carb version – Use crushed nuts or almond flour instead of graham crackers for a keto-friendly treat.
  • Extra indulgence – Drizzle with melted dark chocolate or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra decadent touch.
