Ingredients

For the base:

3 cups plain Greek yogurt (you may also use vanilla yogurt)
2 graham cracker sheets, about 16 rectangles (coconut sable, oreos, lady fingers or biscoff cookies also work)

Optional for flavour:

2 tablespoon honey
1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Variations (per 1 serving):

Oreo

3 thin Oreos
2 tablespoon cookies and cream powder

Banana cream pie

½ banana, thinly sliced
1.5 lady finger cookies, broken in half

Birthday cake

1 tablespoon sprinkles
1.5 lady finger cookies, broken in half

Original cheesecake

1 tablespoon raspberry chia jam
½ graham cracker sheet (4 rectangles)
⅛ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, mix together greek yogurt, vanilla and honey (if using).
Make your cheesecake jars. I like to divide my yogurt filling amongst 4x 6oz glass jars, however you may also use one large jar. *note: if you are mixing in protein powder, sprinkles or jam you can stir it in here*
To each jar, arrange the cookies (and bananas) within the yogurt, leaving about ¼ cm of space between each cookie. Top with additional crushed cookies.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully set (the cookies will be soft). Please note that when using larger cookies such as lady fingers they may need a bit longer to set!

Notes

For more of a true cheesecake flavour- mix 1-2 tablespoon of cream cheese in with the yogurt!
