So, let’s dive in and see how you can make this 2-ingredient cheesecake with just two ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (about 250g) of plain yogurt (unsweetened works best, but you can use lightly sweetened if you prefer)
• 3 large eggs

Yep, that’s it. No cream cheese, no butter, no flour – just yogurt and eggs.

Instructions for 2 Ingredient Yogurt Cheesecake

Step 1: Prep Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a small round cake pan (6–7 inches works perfectly) with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Crack in the eggs and whisk again until everything is well combined. The mixture should look silky and lump-free.

Step 3: Strain for Smoothness (Optional)

If you want that extra smooth texture, strain the mixture through a fine sieve before pouring it into the pan. This step isn’t mandatory, but it makes the cheesecake extra delicate.

Step 4: Bake

Pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Place the pan inside a larger baking dish and add hot water to the outer dish (this is a water bath – it helps the cheesecake cook gently and stay moist). Bake for about 45–50 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.

Step 5: Cool and Chill

Let the yogurt cheesecake dessert cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours. This helps it firm up and gives you that classic cheesecake texture.

Tips from My Kitchen

• If you like a sweeter cheesecake, add a spoonful of sugar or honey to the mix.
• For a citrusy twist, stir in a little lemon zest.
• Top it with fresh berries or a drizzle of fruit syrup before serving – it looks fancy but takes no effort.
