  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 26 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat preferred)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Optional: Zest of 1 lemon for garnish


Instructions

Creating Lemon Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Bars is a breeze. Follow these simple steps to achieve a delightful dessert:

1. Prepare the Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.

3. Pour into Pan: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking pan, ensuring it’s evenly spread.

4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.

5. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Then, refrigerate the bars for at least 2-3 hours or until thoroughly chilled (overnight is best if you have time).

6. Slice and Garnish: Once chilled, lift the cheesecake out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into bars and garnish with lemon zest if desired.

With these simple steps followed properly, you’ll achieve a refreshing and creamy dessert perfect for sharing or savoring alone.
