Ingredients

• 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Fat-free cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.333 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch springform pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until well combined and smooth.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into the mixture one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just blended.

Step 6

Fold in the fresh lemon zest gently to distribute it throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.

Step 10

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually and prevent cracking.

Step 11

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan to release it from the sides. Let it cool completely at room temperature.

Step 12

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 3 hours or overnight before removing the springform pan and slicing.

Step 13

Serve chilled and enjoy a slice of light and creamy Golden Door Spa Cheesecake!
