Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

September 1, 2014 By Manu Leave a Comment

Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

Don’t you just love a good cheesecake?  I certainly do!  I particularly like today’s recipe as it is a 2 layered cheesecake.  The bottom layer is a normal baked vanilla cheesecake, while the top layer also contains Greek Yogurt… this makes the cake a tad lighter to the palate and a bit fluffier on the whole.  This is also the first baked cheesecake recipe I have ever used and it’s never given me any trouble.  It is very easy to make and tastes delicious.  You can serve it with any fruit sauce you like.  Raspberries are a classic, but any other berries, cherries or passion fruit also work a treat with this cheesecake.  I think this is a classic recipe that everyone should have in their “cake repertoire”, especially if you like to bake!  It is the perfect tea time treat!  Enjoy!

Author Manuela Zangara

Ingredients

Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake

  • 1 ¼ cup sweet cookie crumbs I used scotch fingers
  • 80 gms – 1/3 cup butter melted
  • 750 gms – 1 2/3 lbs. cream cheese softened and divided
  • ¾ cup caster sugar divided
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 200 gms – 7 oz. Greek Yogurt

Raspberry Sauce

  • 200 gms – 7 oz. raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar
  • 4 tbsp water

Instructions

Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake

  1. Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the base of a greased and lined 22 cm – 8 or 9 inch round spring-form pan. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  2. Beat 500 gms – 1.1 lb. of cream cheese with ½ cup of caster sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time and mix well.
  3. Pour the vanilla cheesecake mixture into the prepared base.
  4. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C – 355°F for 20 minutes. Then let it cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Beat the remaining cream cheese, caster sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Beat in the yogurt and pour the mixture over the baked base.
  6. Bake for a further 10-15 minutes until just a little wobbly in the centre. Let it cool in the oven with the door ajar, then chill it in the fridge.

Raspberry Sauce

  1. To make the raspberry sauce, heat up the raspberry and caster sugar together with the water until the sugar melts.
  2. Then blend and sieve to obtain a smooth sauce (you may need to add a little water if the sauce is too thick).
  3. Let it cool down and then serve it with the cheesecake!
