This Red Velvet Cheesecake is easy to make as 1,2 and 3. First, you make the crust which is easy, just binding the two-crust ingredients together. Then in a mixing bowl, you mix the cream cheese and Greek yogurt filling with that red food coloring to make the whole cheesecake red velvet. Then, the final thing to do is to bake this yummy cheesecake for about 50-60 minutes or until it is set in the center.

You don’t want to overbake the cheesecake, otherwise, it will crack in the center and it’s not going to have a nice presentation. It’s sweet as it is, but for a prettier presentation, you can sprinkle it with a little bit of icing sugar.
