Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- 2 Toss oats, coconut, almonds, flaxseed meal, ground ginger, and salt together in a bowl to combine.
- 3 Whisk ⅓ cup honey, egg, grated zest of 1 lemon, juice of 1 lemon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined; stir into oat mixture using a wooden spoon, or your hands, until well combined. Firmly press mixture into the bottom and up sides of the springform pan until crust is approximately ⅓-inch-thick on all sides.
- 4 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown and bottom of crust is set, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour. Run a knife around the sides of the springform pan; gently remove crust from the pan.
- 5 Whip Neufchatel cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until completely smooth. Add Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice; beat on medium-high speed until mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust sweetness, adding more honey if desired.
- 6 Pour filling into cooled crust; refrigerate cheesecake for at least 1 hour. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
