Light Apple Cheesecake
Soft, creamy, gently sweet, and incredibly easy—this is the kind of “cheesecake” you can make on a weekday with zero stress. I’ll guide you step by step so it bakes up smooth, not cracked, and slices cleanly.
- 300 g Greek yogurt about 1¼ cups
- 300 g apple puree or unsweetened applesauce about 1¼ cups
- 3 large eggs
- 60 g cornstarch about ½ cup
- Coconut flakes for topping
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 7–8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, apple puree, and eggs until smooth.
Add cornstarch and whisk until the batter is fully combined and lump-free.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently tap the pan to remove air bubbles.
Sprinkle coconut flakes evenly over the top.
Bake for 55–60 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
Cool completely, then refrigerate 2–3 hours before slicing.
-
Use thick Greek yogurt for the best texture.
-
Do not overbake; the cheesecake will firm up while cooling.
-
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
