If you thought the cheesecake was good on its own, this is the upgrade. This high protein cream cheese topping is smooth, lightly sweet, and pairs perfectly with fresh seasonal fruit for a contrast of richness and freshness. It adds that “finished dessert” feel while still keeping things balanced.

Notes
Adjust the ratio of cream cheese to yoghurt to achieve your preferred consistency. Thicker for a richer finish, or lighter and looser for a more refreshing topping.
