Equipment

  • 4 12-ounce lidded cups plus a mixing bowl and hand mixer or sturdy whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese block 4 oz Neufchatel, softened
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar about 2 1/2 tbsp
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups strawberries Washed, hulled and sliced.
  • 2 whole sheets honey graham crackers about 2 full sheets, crushed

Instructions
 

  • Let the cream cheese soften just enough to beat smoothly; 10 minutes is a starting point, and it may need longer. While it softens, wash, dry and chop the strawberries, crush the graham crackers, and set out four 12-ounce lidded cups. A hand mixer will make smoothing the cream cheese easier.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar in a bowl with a hand mixer or sturdy whisk until smooth. Scrape the bowl, add the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the measured yogurt, and beat again to loosen the mixture.
  • Add the remaining yogurt in two additions, mixing gently until smooth. Do not add liquid to thin it; the filling should be thick and spoonable. Small cream-cheese lumps may need a little more mixing.
  • Divide filling evenly among four cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. These are soft, cheesecake-style yogurt cups, not firm baked cheesecake slices.
  • Before eating, top each cup with one-quarter each of the strawberries and crumbs. Keep toppings separate for meal prep. One serving is one full cup of filling with its toppings.

Notes

One serving is one of four cups: about 237 g filling, 50 g strawberries and one-quarter of the graham crumbs. Use the listed gram weights; household measures are approximate. Chill for at least 1 hour. Keep covered at 40°F or below for up to 3 days as a conservative storage plan, with toppings separate. Do not leave out longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F. Freezing is not recommended for texture. Nutrition is estimated and varies with brands and portions.
