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.
Servings: 1 servings
Instructions
- Place the vanilla Greek yogurt in a small jar or container and smooth out the top. Make sure to leave about 1 inch of space between at the top.
- 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.
