About the bake

Yoghurt and cheesecake doesn't sound like a combination that should work but trust us it is really tasty. We used strawberry flavoured Skyr yoghurt as it has a great thick and creamy consistency that lends itself to a cheesecake recipe really well. Go on give it a try!

I have made this following the recipe, however in the method it does not mention the vanilla paste. I am also wondering if it is meant to be 1 tsp and not tablespoon of vanilla paste.
