Ingredients
  

Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

⅓ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

⅓ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), fresh or properly thawed frozen

Topping:

½ cup mixed berries (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir until well mixed.

      - Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is evenly coated and resembles wet sand.

        - Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, ensuring an even and compact layer. Set aside to firm up.

          Make the Filling:

            - In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

              - Add the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well combined and the texture is creamy and free of lumps.

                Incorporate the Berries:

                  - Carefully fold in 1 cup of mixed berries into the cheesecake filling. If using frozen berries, ensure they are completely thawed and excess liquid is drained to maintain the filling's consistency.

                    Assemble the Bars:

                      - Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust in the baking pan, ensuring a smooth surface.

                        - For a decorative touch, scatter a few additional berries over the top of the cheesecake filling.

                          Freeze:

                            - Cover the baking pan tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and transfer it to the freezer.

                              - Freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or until the cheesecake bars are completely solid.

                                Serve:

                                  - Once solid, carefully lift the cheesecake bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.

                                    - Cut into squares or bars of your preferred size.

                                      - Garnish each piece with fresh mixed berries and a sprig of mint for an added touch.

                                        Enjoy:

                                          - Serve immediately or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks for a refreshing treat anytime.
