Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 6 cookies of choice

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
