Notes
- I recommend using a thick Greek yogurt, such as Chobani or Fage for best results.
- Mix cheesecake by hand rather than a mixer. That way the yogurt stays nice and thick. It can take at least 12 hours for the texture and flavor to completely set. The longer it chills the better it tastes.
- Chill in the refrigerator overnight in the springform pan.
- Cover with a paper towel and then plastic wrap to help absorb moisture for up to a week.Freeze for up to a month in an airtight container.
- Toppings are extra points.
