Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups of crushed Maria cookies (about 150g)
  • 5 tablespoons of melted butter (about 70g)
  • For the cheesecake (all at room temperature):
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (226g)
  • 3/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk (about 200g)
  • 1/3 cup of plain Greek yogurt (about 80g)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs (about 100g)
  • Your favorite jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line with parchment paper an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Maria cookies and melted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly onto the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  3. In another mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the baking pan.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of your favorite jam onto the cheesecake mixture.
  6. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the jam into the cheesecake batter for a marbled effect.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and set.
  10. Once chilled, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy your delicious cheesecake bars with a fruity twist!
