FAQs
Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?
Yes, but keep in mind that flavored yogurt may add extra sweetness. I recommend using vanilla or blueberry-flavored yogurt for a complementary taste.
Can I freeze this cheesecake bowl?
It’s not ideal to freeze since the yogurt and cream cheese can become grainy when thawed, but I can always try freezing it for a popsicle-like treat.
What’s a good substitute for powdered sugar?
I like using honey, maple syrup, or a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes! I can use dairy-free yogurt and cream cheese for a completely plant-based version.
How can I add more protein?
Mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or use high-protein Greek yogurt to give it an extra boost.
