Ingredients

1 quart strawberries hulled, sliced

CRUST & CRUMB TOPPING

2 sticks butter unsalted, melted
1 cups sugar divided, 1 cup for the dough, 1 ½ cup for the filling
1 large egg divided, one for the dough 1 for the filling
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
4 cups flour

CREAM CHEESE FILLING

32 ounces Greek Yogurt 0%, I recommend Stonyfield 0% Greek Yogurt
1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
1½ cups sugar
1 large egg
½ whole lemon juiced

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Dough (Crust and Topping)

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and flour. Use an electric mixer and beat until the dough is crumbly.
Reserve ¼ of the dough, and press the remaining dough evenly into the baking dish.

Cheesecake Filling

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, instant pudding mix, sugar, egg, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Spread the cream cheese filling mixture on top of the dough evenly.
Cover the cream cheese filling with the sliced strawberries.

Crumb Topping

Take the reserved ¼ of the dough and crumble it on top of the strawberries.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crumb topping is golden brown and the cream cheese filling is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

GREEK YOGURT. I recommend using 0% Stonyfield Greek Yogurt. This particular brand works out best for cheesecake recipes made without cream cheese. Other brands work, too. I recommend this one because the cheesecakes made with this yogurt have the nicest texture.
