A Healthy Cheesecake?

I asked AI to create a healthy cheesecake.  I hope to make it one day:

Sure! Here's a delicious and healthy cheesecake recipe that uses Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cream cheese to keep it light:


Greek Yogurt Cheesecake


 Ingredients:

- 2 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt (at room temperature)

- 16 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel, at room temperature)

- ¾ cup granulated sugar

- 3 large eggs (at room temperature)

- ¼ cup all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

- 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest (from about 1 large lemon)


Instructions:

1. **Preheat your oven** to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

2. **Prepare the crust**: You can use a simple graham cracker crust or an almond flour crust for a healthier option.

3. **Mix the filling**: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, sugar, and flour, and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

4. **Pour the filling** into the prepared crust and smooth the top.

5. **Bake** for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for about an hour.

6. **Chill**: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.


This cheesecake is not only creamy and delicious but also packed with protein from the Greek yogurt¹.
