tips + tricks for making the best greek yogurt cheesecake

Use room temperature yogurt and cream cheese for the creamiest cheesecake. If your yogurt and cream cheese are cold, you could end up with lumpy cheesecake.
If you can, use Philadelphia full fat cream cheese. It provides the best flavor and texture compared to other brands.
Make sure you give your cheesecake enough time to set before serving. It’ll need at least 6 hours in the fridge for best results.
