Today we're making a light Greek yogurt and cream cheese cake, the kind of treat that's wonderful to share over coffee and good conversation, made with light Greek yogurt and a hint of fresh lemon zest. We'll gently fold in whipped egg whites to achieve a delightfully fluffy texture, and you can serve it topped with your favorite homemade berry jam.
