FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: LEMON YOGURT CHEESECAKE
You can use full-fat Greek yogurt in replace of the cream cheese.
They can last up to a month in the freezer for a fresh lasting taste. You can keep them longer but that fresh taste might fade.
Sour cream is another alternative when swapping with yogurt. It will give you a similar texture and tanginess that yogurt gives.
