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.

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

•  100% Pure Maple Syrup
