Description
This viral Japanese yogurt cheesecake takes 5 minutes to prep with just Greek yogurt and cookies. No baking required! High-protein, creamy, and perfect for meal prep. TikTok’s favorite 2-ingredient dessert hack.
Ingredients
1 container (5-7 oz / 125-200g) thick Greek yogurt – Siggi’s, Fage, Chobani, or Skyr (plain or vanilla)
4–6 cookies – Biscoff, Oreos, coconut sables, shortbread, or graham crackers
Optional toppings: fresh berries, honey, lemon zest, crushed cookies, jam, cocoa powder, or hot honey
Instructions
1. Choose your container. Use the yogurt container itself (easiest option) or transfer yogurt to a small loaf pan lined with parchment paper for cleaner slicing. If your yogurt tub is filled to the brim, remove 2-3 spoonfuls first.
2. Prepare the yogurt base. If using the yogurt container, smooth the top with a spoon. If transferring to another container, spoon yogurt in and tap on the counter to remove air bubbles.
3. Insert cookies. Press cookies vertically (standing up) into yogurt in tight rows. Push them down until they’re about 80% submerged—you want most of the cookie covered in yogurt, but the tops can peek out slightly. Space them close together.
4. Cover and chill. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or the original lid. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but overnight (8 hours) is ideal. Don’t peek or stir during this time.
5. Serve. Eat straight from the container with a spoon (easiest), or flip and slice by running a thin knife around edges, placing a plate on top, flipping over, and tapping gently. Add toppings like fresh strawberries, hot honey drizzle, crushed Biscoff cookies, or cocoa powder.
Notes
For best results: Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt. Fat-free works but won’t be as creamy.
Sweetness adjustment: Use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain to keep it 2 ingredients while adding natural sweetness.
Make ahead: Perfect for meal prep—make 3-4 servings in mason jars on Sunday.
Troubleshooting: If it didn’t set after 8 hours, your yogurt was too thin. Next time, strain it first or use thicker brands like Siggi’s or Fage.
Storage: Cover and refrigerate up to 5 days. Texture is best on days 1-3.
