This is a very easy to make Strawberry Cheesecake, healthy (if use low-fat) and refreshing. Everyone loves this, and it is like eating ice-cream! Depending on the size of glass, I use the plastic ones sold at Tesco at RM4.79 for six, it yields 6 glasses. Bigger glasses will yield 5.

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE RECIPE
Ingredients
100g Ginger Nut Biscuits (or any digestive biscuits)
250g cream cheese
250g Greek Yogurt
4 tbsp caster sugar
Few drops of vanilla essence
3 tbsp very good quality strawberry jam
150g strawberry, hulled & sliced

Method
1. Crush biscuits into chunky pieces and spoon into the base of the 6 glasses
2. Cream together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sugar and the vanilla essence until smooth.
3. Spoon over the biscuit crumbs and chill in the fridge until the time to serve.
4. Before serve, stir the strawberry jam until loose. Mix in the strawberry slices, mix well. Spoon over the cheese filling & serve immediate.

Some of the healthier recipes call for Greek Yogurt, but we can’t find in supermarkets here in Malaysia. I think it can only be found in Cold Storage, and it costs a bomb! So I’ve done some research, and have decided to make my own Greek Yogurt. Since Greek Yogurt is a strained yogurt, what you need is a large bowl, a large strainer and a coffee filter. Of course you will need a tub of fresh yogurt, just the normal low fat yogurt will do.

Place the large strainer on top of the bowl, and place the yogurt into the coffee filter which is put above the large strainer. See pic below:

After which, wrap the whole thing with cling wrap and place in fridge over night.

In the morning, you will find there is a lot of yellowish liquid in the bowl, and what is left in the coffee filter is the Greek Yogurt! Look at the texture, it is exactly what you need. I will share with you a very simple and nice Strawberry Cheesecake later, that will call for this Greek Yogurt.

I strained a tub of 500g yogurt, and it yields 240g of Greek Yogurt. The rest, 260g are just the yellow liquid! Guess the cost is reasonable, coz you will need more than double the ingredient to produce the same weight of Greek Yogurt.
