  • 1 lime zest and juice
  • 1/2 pint sliced strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Line a pie plate with parchment paper (I like to glue the paper down with a bit of coconut oil or butter to keep it firmly into the pan)
  • Melt the butter and add it along with the honey to the graham cracker crumbs. Stir together until all the crumbs are moistened. Press the crumbs down firmly into the bottom of the lined pan.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, yogurt, lime juice and lime zest until light and fluffy. Pour into the dish.
  • Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, top each cheesecake with strawberries and ΒΌ slice of lime. Garnish with optional lime zest if desired. Serve cold.

Notes

  • you can use sour cream instead of yogurt
  • it will keep well sealed in the fridge for 10 days.
