Ingredients and substitutions for Healthy cheesecake pots:
See recipe card for quantities.
Jump to Recipe- Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt gives this healthy cheesecake recipe its creamy texture and slight tang. It also helps make this Greek yogurt cheesecake a little lighter than a traditional cheesecake. If needed, you can swap it for skyr or a thick natural yogurt.
- Cream Cheese – Cream cheese provides the rich, classic flavour that makes a no bake cheesecake recipe so delicious. Reduced-fat cream cheese works well if you want a lighter dessert, while mascarpone can be used for an even richer finish.
- Honey – Honey adds natural sweetness to the filling and complements the tanginess of the yogurt. Maple syrup, agave syrup, or even a little icing sugar can be used instead.
- Digestive Biscuits – Digestive biscuits create the buttery, crunchy base for these no bake mini cheesecakes. Graham crackers, Hobnobs, shortbread biscuits, or ginger nuts all make great alternatives.
- Butter – Melted butter binds the biscuit crumbs together and helps the base set. Either salted or unsalted butter will work, and a plant-based alternative can be used if preferred.
- Caster Sugar – Caster sugar is used to sweeten the fruit toppings and help create a simple fruit compote. Granulated sugar, light brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup can also be used.
- Assorted Fruit – Fresh fruit adds flavour, colour, and variety to these mini cheesecake jars. I’ve used strawberries, blueberries, passion fruit, lemon curd, and crystallised ginger, but you can easily make them your own with raspberries, blackberries, cherries, mango, peaches, kiwi, or your favourite jam or fruit compote.
What equipment will you need to make No Bake Mini Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes?
- Pudding glass jars – Glass pudding jars are perfect for these No Bake Mini Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes. They show off the beautiful layers, make portioning easy, and are great for storing in the fridge. With secure lids, they’re also ideal for taking to work, picnics, barbecues, or dinner parties.
- Mixing bowl – I have been using this set of bowls for years and they are still going strong.
How do I make healthy mini fresh fruit cheesecakes?:
Make these No Bake Mini Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes by combining a simple cookie crust with a creamy Greek yogurt cheesecake filling, then chilling until set for an easy no bake dessert that’s light, delicious, and perfect for any occasion.
1: Place the biscuits in a food bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

3: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese and honey. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
4: Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly into the jars, leaving some space at the top for your chosen toppings.
5: Add 6 chopped strawberries, 1 tablespoon sugar and 40ml water to a small saucepan. Crush the fruit with a spoon and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
6: Leave to cool for 7-8 minutes, then spoon over one of the mini cheesecakes. If desired, finish with extra chopped fresh strawberries.

8: Allow to cool before spooning over one of the jars. Top with a few fresh blueberries for extra colour and flavour.
9: Cut a passion fruit in half and scoop out the flesh. Spoon it directly over one of the cheesecakes.
