Rich and delicious mini cheesecakes get a makeover with low-fat Greek yogurt.

Ingredients

• 2⁄3 cup(s)graham cracker crumbs

• 14 Tbsp plain Danone Oikos 0% Greek yogurt, divided

• 8 oz fat-free cream cheese

• 2 large egg(s)

• 1⁄3 cup(s)sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 10 oz frozen sweetened cherries

• 1 Tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

• 1 pinch table salt

• 2 tsp cornstarch

• 2 tsp water, cold

• 1⁄2 oz 60-69% dark chocolate, shaved

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper liners.

Toss graham cracker crumbs with 2 Tbsp yogurt; using the back of a spoon, press 1 Tbsp crumb mixture into bottom of each prepared muffin cup.

Using an electric mixer, beat together remaining yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, 1/3 c sugar and vanilla; spoon evenly into muffin cups. Bake until top is set, 15-20 minutes; let cool and then chill in refrigerator 2 hours (can make up to 2 days ahead).

Meanwhile, to make topping, combine cherries, remaining 1 Tbsp sugar, lemon juice and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Using a potato masher, lightly crush cherries. Combine cornstarch with cold water; stir into cherry mixture until thick. Cool cherry topping completely before using (may be made up to 1 day ahead).

To serve, top each cheesecake with a heaping Tbsp cherry topping; evenly divide chocolate shavings over top.
