Cheesecake with yogurt and mastiha

Cheesecake with yogurt and mastiha

Ingredients for 8 servings

  • 1 ¾ cups crushed petit beurre biscuits, cinnamon-flavored or with mastiha aroma
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 6 egg whites
  • 500g cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4–6 drops Chios Mastiha oil or 1 heaping tsp ground Mastiha
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3 cups strained yogurt
  • a selection of spoon sweets such as bergamot, orange peel or pistachio

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  2. In a bowl, mix the biscuit crumbs with the honey. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 22 cm springform pan. Place it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, Mastiha, and salt. Add the yogurt and mix well until the ingredients are combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until it's done. The filling will still look soft.
  4. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before adding the spoon sweets on top.
  5. Once you've added a spoon sweet, let the cheesecake cool in the fridge for a few hours until completely set.
