Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) to ensure even baking.

  3. Step 3: In another bowl, beat 1 cup of non-fat cream cheese with 2 cups of non-fat Greek yogurt. Add 2 eggs, 2/3 cup sweetener, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Pour the filling over the crust and smooth it out.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 45-50 minutes until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
  6. Step 6: Turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour, then cool completely before chilling in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  7. Step 7: Remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and serve plain or with toppings.
