Instructions
Making the No-Bake Greek Yogurt Jello Cheesecake can be an enjoyable process. Just follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Crust:
– In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
– Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust. Set aside.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
– In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over ½ cup of water. Allow it to bloom for about 5 minutes.
– In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
– Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for about 15 seconds, or until fully dissolved. Stir well.
– Gently fold the dissolved gelatin mixture into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
– Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Spread evenly with a spatula.
– Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
4. Prepare the Jello Layer:
– In a bowl, dissolve jello powder in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved.
– Add ½ cup of cold water and mix well. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
5. Add the Jello Layer:
– Once the cheesecake filling has set, carefully pour the cooled jello mixture over the cheesecake.
– Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 2 hours, or until the jello layer is firm.
6. Serve:
– Once fully chilled and set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
– Slice and serve chilled. Optional: garnish with fresh fruit or whipped cream if desired.
