4 Ingredient No Bake Lemon Yogurt Cheesecake
This no bake lemon yogurt cheesecake is light, creamy and soft. It doesn't require any baking. It needs just 4 ingredients and doesn't require any eggs and you don't even need a mixer to make it.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (510g) plain Icelandic skyr yogurt, see note
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp (185g) sweetened full fat condensed milk
- 3 1/2 tbsp (50ml) lemon juice
- 1 (6 oz/170g) graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add yogurt and condensed milk. Whisk until smooth and evenly combined. Add in the lemon juice. Whisk until it is evenly incorporated. You should see the mixture thicken slightly when the lemon juice is mixed in. Taste and if needed, you can add a little more condensed milk.
- Transfer cheesecake filling into the graham cracker pie crust. Use an offset spatula to smooth the surface. Place cheesecake into the fridge for 4 hours or overnight, to set. If you want to decorate the cheesecake, wait for the filling to set and then decorate. I piped whipped cream frosting along the edges. Keep the cheesecake in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Optional step: about 60 minutes before you plan on cutting the cheesecake, place it into the freezer. You want the cheesecake to start to firm up but not be frozen solid. So it should feel firmer than before but still have some give. This will make it is easier to cut clean slices. Freezing time will vary, so I recommend to start checking at 30 minutes. Cut the cheesecake with a large sharp knife. Store any uneaten cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Yogurt note: This recipe works best with Icelandic skyr yogurt because of its very thick consistency. Greek yogurt can also work if you use a brand that makes a very thick one, but please note the slices may not be as set compared to using skyr. There are two popular brands of skry in the US that can be found at most grocery stores alongside other yogurts: Siggi and Icelandic Provisions. I used plain nonfat Siggi Icelandic yogurt.* You can also use whole milk plain skry yogurt or if you prefer sweeter, you can use vanilla skyr yogurt.
- I used La Lechera sweetened condensed milk.* You do need to make sure to use regular sweetened condensed milk and not a dairy free condensed milk substitute.
- I used Amazon Grocery graham cracker crust.*
