Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 ounces Dark chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Non-fat whipped topping, thawed
• 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and can clump together.

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on low speed until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Gently fold in the non-fat whipped topping using a rubber spatula, making sure the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 6

Remove the springform pan from the freezer and pour the chocolate cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely firm.

Step 8

When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to make slicing easier.

Step 9

Garnish with optional dark chocolate shavings, slice, and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
