Ingredients

For the Crust:

For the Yogurt Cheesecake:

  • 2 cups plain whole milk yogurt
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon tapioca starch*
  • 1 cup peach halved, roasted, and chopped (about 1 roasted peaches)

Instructions

Prepare the Almond Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly oil an 8” x 8” baking pan.
  • In a bowl, mix together all ingredients for the crust.
  • Pour the crust into the prepared baking pan and press it into the bottom and sides.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until edges are slightly browned.
  • Set aside and allow crust to cool to room temperature.

Roast the Peach:

  • You can roast the peach while you’re baking the almond crust.
  • Cut the peach in half, remove the pit, and lightly coat the flesh with olive oil or coconut oil.
  • Place the peach cut-side down on a baking dish and place in the oven with the crust. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the peach skin is pulling away from the flesh, and juices are seeping out.
  • Remove from the oven, allow peach to cool, then chop it and set aside.

Prepare the Yogurt Cheesecake:

  • Lower the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine all of the ingredients for the cheesecake filling except for the roasted peaches. Blend just until combined.
  • Add the chopped roasted peaches and pulse/blend quickly just to combine with the filling.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into the pan with the crust and bake for 30 to 45 minutes**
  • Turn the oven off and allow the cheesecake to sit for 10 minutes inside the hot oven before removing it.
  • Allow cheesecake to cool for 20 minutes, then place it in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
  • Cut cheesecake squares and serve with fresh peaches and a drizzle of honey.

Notes

*You can replace the tapioca starch with corn starch.
**I bake at high elevation, so it took my cheesecake a full 45 minutes to bake. It will take less time at a lower elevation.
