- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 6 tablespoon melted, unsalted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 12 ounces cream cheese, full fat and room temperature
- 1 cup vanilla greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoon heavy cream
- 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Toppings

Instructions
Graham Cracker Crumbles
- In a bowl add the crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Mix with a rubber spatula until the mixture is thick, coarse and sandy. You want it to just slightly make crumbles.
Cheesecake Filling
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip together the cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
- Shut off the mixer and add in the confectioners’ sugar then slowly turn the mixer on gradually mixing until it is mixed in.
- Shut the mixer off and scrape down the sides. Turn the mixer back on to medium and slowly add in the cream and vanilla.
- Whip until light and creamy.
Assembly
- Fill 6-8 decorative glass with 4-5 tablespoon of graham cracker filling. With the back of a spoon or spatula, gently push the filling down. At this point, you can keep it loose and crumbly or pack it down firm. Chill for 10 minutes.
- Evenly divide the cheesecake filling on top of the crumbs. If desired top with fruit or chocolate drizzle.
- Loosely cover and chill for at least 3 hours prior to serving.
Notes
If desired, double the recipe and make this as a layered trifle dessert with mini chips and berry preserves in the layers!
