Honey and Yoghurt Cheesecake
This Honey & Yogurt Cheesecake in our opinion is the BEST alternative take on this famous dessert. It uses less refined sugars and utilizes the natural sweetness of honey instead.
The recipe makes a creamy, smooth and fresh cheesecake, drizzled with our very own Jarrah Honey.
We are doing part Greek Yoghurt, part cream cheese. This lightens up the dessert quite a bit without compromising on the classic cheesecake taste!
Allow the flavours to develop by keeping it in the fridge overnight before serving.
Tips!
-
Chop the walnuts (save some for garnish in the end).
-
Place the oat biscuits in a clean plastic bag and crush them finely with a rolling pin.
-
Mix the crushed oats with butter and press them firmly into a greased cake pan until you have an even layer. Set aside in the fridge.
-
Place a tea towel over a bowl and spoon the Greek yoghurt in. Strain the yoghurt by twisting the tea towel around and the yoghurt and squeeze.
-
Whisk together the strained yoghurt, cream cheese and lemon zest.
-
Next, melt the white chocolate in a water bath. Stir frequently until melted completely.
-
Gently combine the melted white chocolate into your cream cheese mixture until smooth.
-
Spread your mixture over the biscuit base evenly, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set.
-
When ready to serve, drizzle honey on top and garnish with the rest of the walnuts.
