I know I've seen "oreo crust" on a restaurant menu, not sure if they actually crushed oreos or some other chocolate wafer (without the added sweetness of the oreo filling).

Have any of you made cheesecake with "light" cream cheese and greek yogurt? I have a fresh batch of homemade greek yogurt in my fridge, extra thick. I know it's about calories not just about fat, but my metabolism is weird about fat intake, as in I can limit calories all day long but if I don't keep fat intake low, forget it.

BTW, for anybody with an instant pot, if you haven't tried making yogurt yet, you're missing out! I never loved greek yogurt because most brands are extra-tangy. If I make it myself and incubate only 8 hours (not 12), it works just fine and is very mild.

It's also the bees knees for proofing bread. 20 minutes in the IP on the yogurt setting is roughly equal to 1 hour rise time on the countertop... limited experimentation on my part, but so far that seems to be how the timing works. My brother and I both made stollen last year... I didn't start until after noon, and mine was done first. He was gobsmacked when I texted him a photo. (He called just after I'd started gathering ingredients and told me I'd be up after midnight.)
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
