I know this season is all about Love, Joy and delicious FOOD—all types of food. Comfort food. Cozy food.Party food. Slow cooked food. Bread, Desserts, Appetizers – you name it.

And I’ll be the first to admit- I LOVE Holiday food! 🙂 But I’ll also admit, I love to give myself a “health” break every now and then.

So If I’m having a big meal, I’ll go for a divine yet healthy dessert like these Greek yogurt cheesecake bites. And if I’m having a big party, these bites will be on my dessert menu for sure!

Why these Almond Crunch Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Bites rock: 

Another cheesecake recipe you might think, but let me just say this is NOT yet another cheesecake recipe.

This is a pure Greek yogurt cheesecake recipe. So no cream cheese here, no sugar added, no fancy baking techniques, and yet it’s divine.

And coming from the die-hard cheesecake loving person that I am—this recipe is simply luscious!

Another bonus of these Greek yogurt cheesecake bites? They’re easy, quick and almost everyone will love them as a sweet light ending to their meal.

Plus they keep in the fridge for a week—talking about Holiday meal planning!

There are so many variations for these cheesecake bites! 

Let’s talk for a minute about how you can make these Greek yogurt cheesecake bites in endless ways for your Holiday entertaining this year.

The base is always the yogurt. I made this with light classic vanilla yogurt, but you can make this recipe with regular full-fat yogurt.

Yours can be Lemon Coconut? Salted Caramel? Blueberry? A combo of different cheesecake bites flavors—for a crowd maybe?

Once you’ve settled on the flavor(s) of the yogurt, then comes the coating.

Today I’m sharing these Greek yogurt cheesecake bites with an old friend who’s been on a low carb diet for a while and finally in her maintenance phase—so for that, I coated them in crushed almonds.

But if you can spare a few carbs and need that cookie taste with your cheesecake—then coat the bites in crushed cookies.

I’ve tried them with good old arrowroot cookies and they were perfect! Truthfully, the crushed almonds coating tasted just as perfect—because you get that perfect crunch contrasting the creamy cheesecake bite with an overload of divine scrumptious melt in your mouth cheesecake taste.

You’ll notice I added a blueberry at the center of each Greek yogurt cheesecake bite—that’s totally optional but I highly recommend it if you’re going for a neutral vanilla, coconut or lemon yogurt cheesecake.

I love the bite it adds and the extra fruity taste. I felt the Greek Yogurt cheesecake bites didn’t need any extra sauces, drizzles or fuss—they were delicious as is, but..for the record, my hubby loved them more with a drizzle of honey.

It’s no secret he has a sweeter tooth than me, and if you feel you’re like that too then try the honey drizzle 🙂

How to make Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Bites:

A quick recap on how these Greek Yogurt Cheesecake bites come together: You’ll add the Greek yogurt in a large bowl with an egg.

Now, whisk, then add in a tablespoon and half of the flour, mix that up and it’s done!

You’ll take a tablespoon of batter to fill up a mini muffin pan. Don’t forget to line up your mini muffin pan with baking paper—the cheesecake bites are hard to un-mold once they’re done.

I like a little blueberry placed in the middle, buts that’s totally optional.

Then you’ll chill the cheesecake, remove the paper and dip them in your coating of choice..and now watch your family and friends devour these Greek yogurt cheesecake bites one after the other! 🙂

Tips for success: 

  • Stored in the fridge in an airtight container, these Greek yogurt cheesecake bites keep fresh for a week.
  • I like to have a fresh blueberry at the center of each cheesecake bite, but that’s optional. Raspberries or red currants would be great additions as well.
  • Use any nut you like for the coating! Pistachios, almonds, walnuts, pecans – it all works!

    If this recipe makes 24 cheesecakes and there are 6 servings is the calorie count for 4….a serving is 4 of them?

    Can I make this with plain Greek yogurt? How much sugar should I add if I make it with plain Greek yogurt?

      Hi Indianne, Yes for sure you can. Just use 1/3 cup of sugar for every cup of plain yogurt. Enjoy 🙂
