Description
This viral TikTok Japanese cheesecake recipe hack is made with just yogurt and cookies. I'll be honest, I was definitely skeptical going in. Two ingredients and no baking seems too good to be true, but it actually is really amazing! Plus, it's both dairy-free and gluten-free.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup dairy-free yogurt, thick and creamy (Culina Bourbon Vanilla or Cocojune Organic Unsweetened Vanilla)
- 7 Simple Mills Gluten-Free Sweet Thins (cinnamon)
Optional:
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, stirred into the yogurt (for added sweetness)
- Garnishes: fresh raspberries, cherries or strawberries
Instructions
- Sweeten the yogurt (optional). If using maple syrup, stir 1 tablespoon maple syrup into 1/2 cup yogurt until smooth.
- Fill the jar. Use individual portioned containers or spoon the yogurt into a small glass jar.
- Insert the cookies. Gently slide in 7 cinnamon Sweet Thins at a slight angle. Place 5 in the center, close together but with tiny gaps (so you see yogurt between them). Add 2 on the sides. Avoid having any cookies poking straight up.
- Cover and chill. Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, ideally overnight for the best “cheesecake” texture.
- Serve. Enjoy chilled. Add cherries, strawberries or raspberries on the side if desired.
Notes
Crust variations: chocolate or lemon Sweet Thins (both are vegan and gluten-free).
Extra crust layer at the bottom: If you are transferring the yogurt to a small glass jar, you can add an extra layer of cheesecake crust by pulsing the cookies a couple of times in a mini food processor (or just roughly crumbling them up by hand) and placing at the bottom of the glass before adding the yogurt.
