Open-Faced Graham Cracker Cheesecake and Yogurt Sandwiches

 

I came up with this idea when I was wanting to make a yoghurt cheesecake but realized, it would have to be refrigerated overnight.  I will try that version another time, however, if you want something quick, this is the recipe for you!

Mix together:

1 package of Philly cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups 3% plain Greek yogurt, with 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 cup of brown sugar or sweetener, 1/2 tsp. lemon zest (optional),  pinch of lavender (optional), pinch of cocoa (optional), a few berries of your choice, & reduced balsamic.

Here's what to do.  First mix up the Philly cream cheese and then add 1 cup of Greek yogurt.  If it is the consistency that you like, you won't need to add the additional 1/2 cup.  Add the vanilla and continue mixing.

Add up to 1/4 cup brown sugar or as I used, Splenda.  Once again, it will be your preference as to how sweet you would like it.  This turned out to be the perfect amount for my husband and I.  First add a tbsp. and then go from there and add less or more as you like.

Once it is all mixed up, dollop onto graham crackers and top with sliced strawberries, whole blueberries, blackberries, whatever you like.

Drizzle with reduced balsamic.  

Enjoy!
