The first time I made this Lemon Greek Yogurt Cheesecake, I wanted a dessert that felt light, refreshing, and packed with bright citrus flavor. Instead of using traditional cream cheese, I reached for full-fat Greek yogurt, hoping it would create a creamy texture while adding a little extra protein. As the cheesecake baked, my kitchen filled with the fresh aroma of lemon zest and warm vanilla. Watching it puff up beautifully in the oven was so satisfying, and after chilling it overnight, I sliced into one of the creamiest cheesecakes I had ever made. The silky texture and vibrant lemon flavor instantly made this recipe one of my favorite healthy-inspired desserts.
