Prepare Vanilla Bavarian
Prepare ½ package of RC Vanilla Bavarian Mix with 12 oz. cold milk according to package instructions and keep refrigerated.
2
Prepare Pastry Cream
Prepare 1 package of RC Instant Pastry Cream Mix with 1 quart (32 oz.) cold milk according to package instructions and keep refrigerated.
3
Whip Cream Cheese Base
In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and whipped cream cheese. Whip for 3 to 5 minutes on medium speed, stop and scrape the bowl, then whip for another 3 to 5 minutes until light, fluffy, and completely smooth.

Add Extracts & Fold

5
Fill & Chill
Fill graham cracker lined pie shells or tart shells and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours until set. Alternatively, pipe into mini tartlet shells, mason jars, or dessert shooter glasses for single-serve formats.

Garnish & Serve
Toss fresh summer berries with prepared RC Strawberry Coulis and RC Blueberry Coulis to top the cheesecake, or swirl the berry mixture directly into the batter prior to chilling.
Value Added & Umami Suggestions
Umamify the Recipe: Simply add 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Kokumi Powder when adding the vanilla and RC Lemon Extract. Kokumi powder significantly amplifies the rich, tangy cream cheese notes and heightens the natural sweetness of fresh summer berries.
