Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 16 ounces Low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt, low-fat
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 ounces Jello mix (any flavor, sugar-free preferred)
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1.5 cups Whipped topping, light
• 1 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 2

Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, spreading it evenly and pressing firmly to create a compact layer. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the Jello mix in the boiling water. Stir for about 2 minutes, ensuring the mix is completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, but not set.

Step 5

Gradually pour the cooled Jello mixture into the cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 6

Gently fold in the light whipped topping using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Step 7

Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even layer.

Step 8

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is set and firm.

Step 9

Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve the cheesecake as is, or garnish with fresh fruit for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
