Want to add a little extra sweetness? Top your cheesecake with honey, fresh berries, jam, or even a few chocolate chips.
What Yogurt and Cookies to Choose for This Viral Trend from Japan
The best part about this recipe is how forgiving it is. It works with pretty much any yogurt: Greek, Skyr, Balkan, even plant-based options all do the job.
You can also play around with flavored yogurts like vanilla, berry, or caramel.
As for cookies, the original Japanese version uses coconut sable cookies, but you don’t have to hunt those down all over the Internet. Any sable-style biscuits work just fine: Biscoff, Oreo, or even homemade if you’re in the mood to bake.
Honestly, the hardest part of this viral recipe from Japan is the waiting. So while your 2-ingredient cheesecake is chilling in the fridge, check out another trend coming from Japan: Mirumi robot bag charm. There’s even talk that it could replace Labubu as the next must-have accessory.
