Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 package (8 oz) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon coconut milk (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and honey until well mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking dish to form a lovely crust.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy in a mixing bowl. Add in the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then beat again until all ingredients are well combined.
- Stir in the shredded coconut. If the mixture feels too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over your graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula for that perfect finish.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until set in the center. Let them cool completely before transferring to the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes to chill and firm up.
- Slice into bars and serve chilled. Enjoy your delightful Skinny Coconut Cheesecake Bars!
