Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tbsp (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) maple syrup
  • 16 oz (450g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt, strained
  • 0.5 cup (120ml) honey
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh raspberries or blueberries
  • 1 sprig (2g) fresh mint

Instructions:

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and maple syrup in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Pour the crumb mixture into the bottom of a parchment-lined springform pan and press firmly into a compact, even layer using a flat measuring cup.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and honey until smooth and airy.
  4. Fold in the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, scraping the sides of the bowl to ensure no lumps remain.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture using a spatula.
  6. Pour the filling over the crust, smooth the top with a spatula, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  7. Run a thin knife around the perimeter of the cake and release the springform latch before serving. Garnish with fresh berries and mint.
