  • 1 tbsp granular erythritol (or sweetener of choice)

For the filling:

  • 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

For topping (optional):

  • Light whipped topping
  • Easter sprinkles or mini chocolate eggs

Instructions

1. Prep the Crust
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sweetener. Press about 1 tablespoon into the bottom of each liner. Place in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.

3. Add Color and Assemble
Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly into 3–4 bowls. Add a drop or two of pastel food coloring to each and stir to combine. Spoon or pipe the colorful mixtures into each muffin cup, layering or swirling for a fun design.

4. Chill
Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until firm. Top with whipped topping and festive Easter decorations before serving.
