Cranberry Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Bites

Published 11/15/2020 • Updated 11/13/2023 Made with protein-packed Greek yogurt, tangy cream cheese, a crunchy graham cracker crust, and tart cranberry swirl, these Greek yogurt cheesecake bites are the ultimate holiday dessert. Similar to all of our cheesecake-inspired recipes (like these pumpkin cheesecake bars and these lemon cheesecake bites), we replace part of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt. It’s an easy swap that adds a little extra protein. The crust and the cream cheese filling are both made in the food processor for easy prep and cleanup, and the cranberry swirl adds a festive flair to this refreshing dessert. Bake in the oven, chill (at least 2 hours or overnight), and serve as a sweet ending to a cozy holiday meal. These swirled Greek yogurt cheesecake bites are a must-make this holiday season!

Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Bites Variations

This is such a wonderful base recipe for cheesecake bites – simply mix up them up by using a different flavor of swirl. The possibilities are deliciously endless! Gluten Free: To make GF cheesecake bites, use gluten free graham crackers for the graham cracker crust. Swirl: If you don’t have time to make cranberry sauce (our lemon ginger cranberry sauce tastes amazing in these mini cheesecakes!), use your favorite store-bought version or any kind of jam (raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, or cherry would be delicious). You could also try swirling in apple butter for a fall twist on these cheesecake bites.

Storage

Store Greek yogurt cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They’re a great make-ahead holiday dessert recipe (and frees up valuable oven space, too!).
