Recipe Tips

Use full-fat or thick Greek yogurt for a creamier texture.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing.
Add a little more honey if you prefer a sweeter cheesecake bite.
Fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries make an easy topping.
For a chocolate version, add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the filling.
