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:
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and maple syrup in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- 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.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and honey until smooth and airy.
- Fold in the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, scraping the sides of the bowl to ensure no lumps remain.
- 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.
- Pour the filling over the crust, smooth the top with a spatula, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- Run a thin knife around the perimeter of the cake and release the springform latch before serving. Garnish with fresh berries and mint.
