Japanese Cheescake

Some desserts feel like they require a full day in the kitchen, fancy gadgets, and a lot of patience. And then there’s this 2-ingredient Biscoff cheesecake, which is completely the opposite. It’s light, creamy, and melts in your mouth, but somehow, it’s made with almost no effort. No oven, no complicated steps, and barely any dishes. I first came across it on TikTok, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. But the first time I tried it, it disappeared in minutes. Since then, it’s become my go-to “I need dessert now” solution—and it’s perfect for anyone who loves no-bake treats, cheesecake jars, or quick desserts that somehow feel fancy without the fuss.

This cheesecake is a simplified, no-bake version inspired by the airy texture of Japanese desserts. Instead of using cream cheese and eggs, it relies on thick, creamy yogurt to create a soft, fluffy base, while Biscoff cookies bring that irresistible caramelized flavor that keeps you sneaking spoonfuls straight from the jar. The result is a dessert that works beautifully as individual cups, layered parfaits, or a last-minute sweet treat to impress guests. Honestly, it feels like cheating—but in the best way.

Ingredients

• Biscoff cookies, finely crushed
• Thick yogurt (Greek-style or strained yogurt works best)

That’s literally it. Two ingredients, one bowl, and a deliciously creamy cheesecake at the end.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Spoon or spatula
• Dessert cups, jars, or small glasses
• Food processor or rolling pin to crush cookies

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crush the cookies. You can use a food processor to get really fine crumbs, or put the cookies in a zip-top bag and smash them with a rolling pin. The finer the crumbs, the smoother your cheesecake will be.

Step 2: Mix with yogurt. Combine the cookie crumbs and thick yogurt in a bowl. Stir until fully blended and creamy. The texture should be thick enough to hold its shape in a jar but soft enough to spoon easily.

Step 3: Spoon into cups. Divide the mixture evenly into dessert jars or cups. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon for a clean finish. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a few extra crushed Biscoff cookies on top for texture and presentation.

Step 4: Chill. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until the cheesecake has set to your liking. The longer it chills, the firmer it becomes.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy. These little jars of cheesecake are perfect for an after-dinner treat, a sweet snack, or even as a dessert for parties. Serve cold, grab a spoon, and indulge.

What to Serve With

This dessert pairs wonderfully with fresh berries, a cup of coffee like Copycat Starbucks Peppermint Mocha, or a warm chai latte. You can also layer it with chocolate sauce, caramel drizzle, or even a spoonful of fruit compote to make it look extra special. If you’re hosting a dessert table, it fits beautifully alongside other no-bake treats.

Mom-Style Tips

• For the best texture, use very thick yogurt—Greek or strained yogurt is ideal.
• Want firmer cheesecake cups? Chill longer. Overnight works perfectly.
• Add an extra layer of crushed Biscoff cookies on top for a crunchy surprise.
• Dessert jars are perfect for gifts or grab-and-go treats.
• Feeling indulgent? Add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.
• Kids can help crush the cookies—it’s a fun, mess-friendly activity.
