Looking for more easy summer dessert recipes that are egg-free? These easy Greek yogurt strawberry cheesecakes are perfect for hot summer days. These mini-cheesecakes require no baking so you won’t be heating up your kitchen to enjoy these delightful treats.

I love that these mini cheesecakes are healthier than the regular version since we are replacing part of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.

Ingredients Notes & Substitutions

Amounts are included in the printable recipe below (scroll down).You’ll need:

For the Crust

Graham cracker crumbs – you can make your own by crushing it yourself or buying it pre-crushed. You can also use Oreo crumbs for a chocolate version.
Granulated sugar
Butter – I prefer to use unsalted butter, but can use salted is that you have.

For the Strawberry Sauce

Strawberries – Fresh or frozen work well in this recipe. If using frozen, thaw before making the puree.
Granulated sugar

For the Filling

Cream cheese – Be sure the cream cheese you use is the type that is in a block form. The spreadable cream cheese in a tub won’t yield the same results.
Sweetened condensed milk – Use the full-fat version, the low-fat version won’t set well.
Vanilla Greek yogurt – I recommend using the full-fat version for a creamier texture.

Step By Step Recipe Photo Tutorial

Detailed instructions are included in the printable recipe below (scroll down).

1 – Make The Cheesecakes Crust

Combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl. Drizzle with the meltedbutter and stir until combined. Divide the crumbs between the 12 cavities in the silicone muffin pan, and press them firmly intothe bottom of the pan to form the cheesecake crust. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

2 – Make the Strawberry Sauce

Add strawberries and granulated sugar to a food processor and pulse until well pureed, about 1minute. Press mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Set aside.

3 – Make the No-Bake Cheesecake Yogurt Filling

In a large-size mixing bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sweetenedcondensed milk and Greek yogurt. Mix until well combined and creamy.

4 – Assemble the Mini Cheesecakes

Divide the yogurt filling between the 12 cavities in the muffin pan. Spread it into a smoothlayer with the back of a spoon.

Dollop about 5 small circles of strawberry sauce over each mini cheesecake, about ½ teaspoon. Using a toothpick, swirl strawberry sauce with cheesecake mixture to create a marbled design.

5 – Freeze the No-Bake Cheesecakes

Place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours to overnight to firm up. Before serving, let minicheesecakes sit out on the counter for about 8-10 minutes to slightly soften and get creamier.

Serve with whipped cream and more sliced strawberries, if desired.

Make CheesecakesHealthier

1 – Substitute part of the cream cheese for Greek yogurt:

This egg-free no-bake cheesecake recipe is a bit healthier than the traditional version. The trick is to substitute part of the cream cheese with nonfat greek yogurt. NOTE: Don’t use reduced-fat or fat-free cream cheese here; they won’t set up the same.

I used Greek yogurt to make these wonderful mini cheesecakes, which ended up being a fantastic addition. Yogurt adds a cool note, making them light and refreshing.

2 – Use a nut-based crust:

If you want a healthier crust, you can use any nut you like. For a nut crust, add the1 cupof pitted dates, 1 cup of nuts (cashew, walnuts, pecan, etc.), and a pinch of salt to the food processor bowl and process until loose ball forms. You might need to add a tablespoon or so of warm water. If the mixture is too little dry, then process again until the mixture starts to come together.

QUICK RECIPE TIPS

You can also make these in a regular muffin pan; make sure to line each cavity with a paper muffin cup to unmold easily.

Be sure the cream cheese you use is the type that is in a block form. The spreadable cream cheese in a tub won’t yield the same results.

If you don’t have graham crackers to make the crust, try pretzels, vanilla wafers, or Oreo cookies.

Do NOT use low-fat ingredients, or the cheesecake won’t set up.

If you want to transport these to a party or something try using mini mason jars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to keep these in the freezer?

I recommend keeping these in the freezer until you unmold them, then you can transfer them to the refrigerator.

Can I use organic agave nectar for the sweetener?

Yes, you can. Use the same amount. However, the texture will be less creamy.

Can I use other toppings?

Absolutely! Check out my topping ideas below.

What is a healthier substitute for sweetened condensed milk?

You can use the same amount of canned cream of coconut or evaporated milk. However, the cheesecake won’t be as sweet.

Oriana’s Notes

Store: Store mini cheesecakes covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also store them in the freezer if you prefer a firmer cheesecake. In this case, I recommend lettingthem sit out on the counter for about 8 -10 minutes before serving to slightly soften and get creamier.

Crust: To make the crust, I used graham crackers, but if you want a healthier crust, you can use any nut crust you like. For a nut crust, add the1 cupof pitted dates, 1 cup of nuts (cashew, walnuts, pecan, etc.), and a pinch of salt to the bowl of a food processor and process until a loose ball forms. If the mixture is too dry, you might need to add a tablespoon or so of warm water, then process again until the mixture starts to come together.

MOld: You like to use a silicone muffin mold for easier unmolding. But you can also make these in a regular muffin pan; just make sure to line each cavity with a paper muffin cup.
