No-Bake Viral Japanese Cheesecake Recipe

I have seen this Viral Japanese Cheesecake recipe going around social media and decided that I needed to give it a try myself. 

It definitely lived up to the hype. Although it's a simple, two-ingredient recipe, it tastes very close to traditional cheesecake. The biscoff cookies add a graham-cracker layer to the Greek yogurt which is the creamy part of the cheesecake. Amazing, delicious, decadent, and the first bite tasted so luxurious and creamy.

• Serving size: 6-8 (small portions)
• Family friendly: Absolutely but your kids may devour it in seconds
• Total prep and chill time: 24+ hours
• Serving suggestions: Eat by itself for the most amazing snack

What Makes This Recipe Unique

This recipe is unique because, with only two ingredients, you will be surprised at how velvety, silky, and smooth this recipe is. I thought it was too good to be true. It tastes like a million dollar dessert, but surprisingly simple to make. 

What Inspired This Recipe 

I saw this recipe on social media and thought I would give it a try. Although I used the simple cheesecake recipe, I have also seen other recipe ideas so you can make it your own and customize it. Since this was a viral recipe, I definitely had to try it. 

Worth the hype!

Why This Cheesecake Recipe Works

This recipe works well because it's super simple - it doesn't take a lot of time or ingredients to make a delicious cheesecake. It's also a lighter snack option - I took one or two bites at a time to eliminate my "sweet" fix. The Greek yogurt softens the cookies so they taste like a graham cracker crust with a cheesecake filling. Overnight, the yogurt becomes thick and creamy. The long chill time is what transforms two simple ingredients into an indulgent and decadent dessert. 

Is This a Traditional Japanese Cheesecake Recipe?

This is actually not a traditional Japanese cheesecake recipe but it's a no-bake version that mimics the creamy texture and light flavor using everyday ingredients. 

Additional Topping Ideas

•  Strawberries
•  100% Pure Maple Syrup
•  *Siete Grain Free Mexican Shortbread Cookies (in place of Biscoff Cookies)
•  Melted chocolate on top, hardened

Homemade Hamburger Helper Recipe Kevin (my fiancé) loves homemade hamburger helper and this recipe tasted way better than any boxed hamburger helper out there. Hamburger helper is nostalgic for me though. Growing up in the 90's, I do remember having it every once in awhile. Homemade is always a better choice, though. This recipe is easy to whip up in one pan, making cleanup simple and dinner fast. This homemade hamburger helper combined creamy cheese, with tender pasta, and had great seasoning choices which included onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder for a little kick. It was flavorful, and really good, with Jace and I both rating it an 8/10 and wanting to make it again. Skip the box!
