and I really liked it!!
I have tried my fair share of viral recipes – with varying results. This Greek Yogurt Biscoff Cheesecake (aka: Japanese Cheesecake) was really tasty and just so easy! It would be really easy to customize and try different flavor combinations!
It’s called “Cheesecake” because the cookies soften in the yogurt and it does lend a cheesecake taste to the yogurt. I was wondering if the cookies would sweeten the plain yogurt enough and surprisingly they do! I like the bit of tang along with the sweetness infused from the cookies. But, you could always start with vanilla yogurt if you like a little sweeter taste! Expectation-wise, it’s not going to be like a scrumptious slice of your favorite cheesecake. Also, plain (unsweetened) Greek Yogurt is pretty healthy, but then we’re adding a bunch of cookies to it. So, to me, it is more of a treat.
I Made Two Versions of the Viral Greek Yogurt Biscoff Cheesecake:
- Plain/Orginal: Greek Yogurt Biscoff Cheesecake:
- Plain Greek Yogurt
- Biscoff Cookies
- Tiramisu Version: Greek Yogurt Biscoff Cheesecake:
- Plain Greek Yogurt
- Espresso Powder
- Biscoff Cookies
- Cocoa Powder
My taste testers were torn, some liked the Plain version and some the Tiramisu version. You can taste more of the Biscoff Cookie flavor in the plain version. Have fun experimenting with your own combinations and let me know in the comments what you end up trying!
