Valentine’s Day Greek Yogurt Cheesecake

Who doesn’t love an easy dessert? With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, an easy Greek yogurt cheesecake drizzled in dark chocolate is the perfect treat to whip up for your weekend. My husband is a big fan of cheesecake, but it’s always a little bit too rich for me. This lightened-up version is the perfect amount of sweet (and my cheesecake-loving husband is a fan, too).

My Greek yogurt cheesecake can easily be customized to suit your taste, I stuck with using vanilla Greek yogurt, but your could make it with strawberry if that’s your favorite flavor. I’m tempted to try it with a coffee-flavored yogurt, leaving the strawberries off, of course. Whatever your taste, make sure you drizzle it with dark chocolate and enjoy it with a cup of coffee.
