Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup melted butter

1/2 cup pomegranate juice

1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

    In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.

      In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.

        Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

          Gradually fold in the flour until just combined.

            Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and spread evenly.

              Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

                Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.

                  Remove from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

                    For the pomegranate syrup, in a saucepan, combine pomegranate juice and sugar. Cook over medium heat until reduced by half. Allow to cool.

                      Before serving, drizzle the cooled pomegranate syrup over the cheesecake and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and fresh mint leaves for garnish.
