Something about lemon says summer to me – perhaps, it’s the color? I’m not quite sure, but I do know the color yellow makes me happy and so do these little portion-controlled Lemon Cheesecake Yogurt Cups.

My mom always put vanilla wafers on the bottom of her cheesecake cups, which is such a simple solution to create a crust. Just put one wafer in the bottom of each regular-size muffin cup and top with the batter. The cookies will soften when the cheesecake cups bake. These individual lemon cheesecake cups make a great dessert. If you’re serving them for a party, you can make them the night before and refrigerate until it’s time to eat them.

While testing this lemon cheesecake recipe, I tried it two ways: the first, as seen in the photo, with blackberries on top, and the second with the berries mixed in with the cheesecake cups before I baked them. Both were equally good, but the berries on top are prettier.

What are lemon cheesecake cups made of?

  • Lemon: Lemon juice and zest
  • Creamy Ingredients: Softened 1/3-less fat cream cheese, fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt
  • Other Filling Ingredients: Sugar, vanilla extract, egg whites, all-purpose flour
  • Crust: Vanilla wafers

Variations:

  • Sugar Substitute: If you’re trying to reduce your sugar intake, use monk fruit sweetener in place of sugar.
  • Lime Flavor: Make key lime cheesecake by swapping the lemons for key limes.
  • Crust: Switch out the Nilla Wafer with a gingersnap or chocolate wafer.
  • Lemon Cheesecake Toppings: Use whatever berries you want or a combo of mixed berries. You could even top it with pie filling or blueberry compote.
