I have decided to run another Half Marathon. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. 

Running is so addictive. It makes me feel awesome and gives you a natural rush. But I’ve run my whole life; I don’t know anything else.

Racing is addictive. Once you race, you want to race again to see if you can do a personal best (or PR, a personal record). If you don’t do better, you have to try again because, well, you can’t stop when you do worse!! See how this goes?

But I do eat better when I’m training for a run. I’m more conscious of eating good, quality food with all the nutrients I need to power a run. As I’ve repeatedly stated on the blog, I have a sweet tooth. I love desserts, but I’m trying to get healthier desserts.

Skinny Peaches & Cream Greek Yogurt Cheesecake

Greek yogurt is wonderful, and I have been incorporating it into more and more dishes. I now substitute Greek yogurt for everything that I previously used sour cream in. Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt, and it’s creamier and tangier. I get non-fat, plain Greek yogurt and add it to all kinds of recipes.

Cooking Tips

  1. For this Peaches & Cream Greek Yogurt Cheesecake I like to use Fresh Peaches: Fresh peaches give the best flavor and texture. If using canned peaches, make sure to drain them well to avoid extra moisture. If using frozen peaches, thaw them before mixing into the cheesecake.
  2. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the Greek yogurt and eggs are at room temperature. This helps them mix more smoothly and results in a creamier texture.
  3. Avoid Overmixing: When mixing the cheesecake batter, mix just until combined. Overmixing can incorporate too much air, leading to cracks on the surface.
  4. Baking: Bake the cheesecake until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The residual heat will finish cooking it without overbaking.
  5. Cool Gradually: Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open. This helps prevent cracks by cooling it gradually.

Peaches & Cream Greek Yogurt Cheesecake FAQ

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?

Yes, but it will change the flavor and sweetness. Plain Greek yogurt keeps the flavor neutral, allowing the peaches to shine.

What if I don’t have almond flour?

You can substitute with other nut flours like cashew or hazelnut, or use regular flour, but it will change the texture and flavor.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the cheesecake for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes, thaw and drain them thoroughly before chopping and adding to the cheesecake to avoid excess moisture.

Why did my cheesecake crack?

Cracking can occur from overbaking or sudden changes in temperature. Follow the cooling tips to help prevent this.

Ingredients

CRUST

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • teaspoon salt

CHEESECAKE

Instructions

CRUST

  • Combine flour, syrup, oil, and salt, mixing with a fork until clumpy and resembles coarse sand.
  • Pour into a 10-inch tart pan or springform pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 350 degrees, 15 minutes, or until lightly brown.
  • Remove from oven and fill with desired filling. Crust does not have to cool before filling.

CHEESECAKE

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a blender, add eggs, sugar, yogurt, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Add cornstarch, salt, and peaches, Pulse 4 to 5 times until blended but the peaches aren't pureed. You still want small chunks of peaches. Pour into prepared crust..
  • Bake 30 minutes or until the center is set and edges are lightly brown. Turn the oven off and open the door. Allow it to sit in the oven for 5 minutes to gently cool, before removing.
  • Cool completely on the countertop before refrigerating. Refrigerate at least 2 to 3 hours before releasing the springform pan.
  • Serve cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Add a 9×9-inch casserole dish with 1-inch of water in the bottom of it to oven while cooking. This will prevent the cheesecake from cracking. I cooked in a 10-inch springform pan. Cheesecake will be about 1 and 1/2 inches tall.
