Our raspberry glut came to an end with these mini cheesecake pots – actually I made these in July at the tail end of the harvest but they were published on Great British Chefs whilst I was on holiday mid August and I’ve not had chance to feature them here until now.
My new best friend in the kitchen is strained Greek yogurt, which is cheesily easy to make. Simply strain a 500ml pot of Greek yogurt through muslin overnight and you end up with a firmer mass suitable for spreading or rolling into balls. It’s not exactly like cream cheese but close enough for me.
I have further experiments to make with this Greek yogurt cheese – you may have previously seen me rolling it into balls soaked in olive oil and garlic on Maison Cupcake instagram – but this particular batch had a sweeter destination.
The wet raspberry topping is perfect to swirl into the cheesy rhubarb base. Find out exactly how I made these pots over at Great British Chefs.

I have lots more recipes using raspberries. Take a look at my Crushed Raspberry Cupcakes…
Sarah! Is it wrong that I want one of these and it’s only 6.30am?! Gorgeous!
Well, you can eat yogurt and fruit for breakfast so why not?!
Ooh they look GOOD! I could one one right now.
Thank you Jan – sadly they’re long long gone 🙁
Omg these look incredible. I’ve never made strained Greek yoghurt but it looks wonderful!
It’s so easy and you can do a lot with it. Do try it out!
Mmm scrummy! I have two yogurt strainers which I really ought to use more. Will give this a go!
An actual strainer? I’d like to try that as muslin is a bit messy.
they look so pretty. I didn’t do raspberries this year but I did do wild strawbs and they are still producing fruit!
We had a good harvest – although husband is feeling vindicated as I was trying to get him to prune them back much more.
These look beautIful as do your labneh style balls! 🙂
Thanks – the labneh style balls were very tasty and I’m sure I’ll be featuring them properly in future.
Loving the rasp recipe on Great British Chefs as well as the colourful photos Sarah. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you – the pink came out nice and bright didn’t it.
Brilliant inspiration Sarah, love it!
Thanks Gary, I always think dessert looks nicest in a glass.
These look gorgeous Sarah. One of these would complete my chicken salad lunch.
I’m hungry anyway, but now i’m RAVENOUS!!! What gorgeous little desserts 🙂
Lovely! Such a gorgeous colour.
I adore cheesecake, this raspberry version is just too pretty to eat but I suppose I could try, in fact I will have 2!
I think I felt the same way 😉
That’s such a good (and healthy) tip to use strained Greek yogurt rather than cheesecake- and it must add a delicious tang to the finished pud!
