Quick Info
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 30–35 minutes
Chill Time: 1–2 hours
Total Time: About 2 hours
Servings: 6 slices
Ingredients
1 cup (250 g) plain Greek yogurt
2 large eggs
2–3 tablespoons honey, depending on desired sweetness
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for a firmer texture)
Pinch of salt
½ cup fresh blackberries
Optional: 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Lightly grease or line a small round or square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cheesecake Batter
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth and creamy. If using, stir in the cornstarch and lemon zest until fully incorporated.
3. Fill the Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
4. Add the Blackberries
Scatter the fresh blackberries evenly over the top. Gently press them slightly into the batter so they nestle in without sinking completely.
5. Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still has a slight wobble when gently shaken.
6. Cool and Chill
Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1–2 hours, or until fully set.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled, topped with extra fresh blackberries, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of lemon zest for a beautiful finishing touch.
