Viral Japanese Cheesecake Recipe
Japanese cheesecake recipe made viral on TikTok and Instagram with 2 ingredients, Greek yogurt and cookies, chilled overnight for a cheesecake-like dessert.
Prep Time5 minutes mins
Total Time5 minutes mins
Servings: 1 servings
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 6 cookies of choice
Divide the vanilla Greek yogurt evenly between small jars or containers, smoothing the tops.
Press the cookies down into the yogurt so they’re fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- My Top Tip: Fully submerge the cookies. Make sure the cookies are completely covered in yogurt or they won’t soften properly. Press them down gently if needed.
-
Refrigerator: This Japanese cheesecake keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, covered. After that, the cookies get too soft and start to lose structure. It’s best within the first 24–48 hours.
-
Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing it. The yogurt texture changes once thawed and can turn grainy or watery, especially with cookies mixed in.
-
Make-ahead note: This is meant to be made ahead and eaten cold, so overnight chilling is ideal — just don’t plan on storing it long-term.
