Description
Viral Japanese Yogurt Cheesecake is a 2 ingredient, no bake dessert made with thick Greek yogurt and sturdy cookies. It sets in the fridge into a creamy, rare cheesecake style slice or scoop. Top with berries, jam, honey, or crushed cookies right before serving.
Ingredients
125g full fat or low fat Greek yogurt
4 Biscoff cookies (or Oreos, shortbread, tea biscuits, digestive biscuits)
Optional toppings: crushed cookies, berries, jam, honey, lemon zest
Instructions
1. Spoon the thick Greek yogurt into a container and smooth the surface.
2. Insert cookies upright in tight rows, keeping them mostly submerged.
3. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
4. Serve directly from the container or unmold and slice. Add desired toppings before serving.
Notes
Use thick yogurt for best results; if yogurt is loose, strain it for 30 to 60 minutes before use.
Chill the dessert for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to help it set properly.
If you prefer a more traditional cheesecake texture, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to the yogurt.
Cookies should be dry and sturdy; avoid thin or soft cookies that break down too easily.
Pack cookies tightly without leaving large gaps to help structure the dessert.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
This is a no bake dessert that mimics a rare cheesecake, not a baked Japanese soufflé cheesecake.
Gluten free and dairy free versions are possible by substituting appropriate cookies and yogurt.
