Bake Honey Cheesecake Rich and yummy, yet lower in calories and fat than what you buy in the bakery, requires no baking. Convenient assembly! This recipe calls for a graham cracker topping, but if you prefer a graham cracker crust, see the Yogurt Pie recipe. In place of the crumb mixture on top of the cake you may wish to use fresh strawberries or Strawberry Topping or as is the case with the demonstration below, some other fresh fruit.
