Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 15 graham crackers (8 ounces) 1 stick unsalted butter, melted 3 tablespoons granulated sugar Salt 2 bars (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature ¾ cup confectioners' sugar 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat) 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 cup heavy cream, whipped 2 cups fresh berries Directions In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until finely ground (you should have about 2 cups). Add butter, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; pulse until combined. Press crumbs evenly onto the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. In a large bowl and using an electric mixer on high, beat cream cheese until fluffy, 3 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, yogurt, vanilla, and a pinch of salt; beat until smooth. With a rubber spatula, fold in whipped cream. Pour cream cheese mixture into crust and smooth top. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 8 hours (or overnight). Combine berries and remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar; let stand 15 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake; release sides to remove from pan. Top with berries and juices. Andrew Purcell Cook's Notes When you're pressing the crumbs into the pan for the crust, use a flat-bottomed measuring cup. It makes it easy to get an even thickness -- and to get into the pan's corners. Originally appeared: Everyday Food, July/August 2013 Rate It PRINT
