- Once smooth, add the Greek yogurt, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla, and mix fully.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling on top of the crusts.
- Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, then turn off the oven and open the oven door and allow the cheesecakes to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and allow to set at room temperature for 1 more hour before chilling and enjoying.
