High-Protein Viral “Japanese Cheesecake

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Base Spoon your fat-free Greek yogurt into a small bowl or ramekin. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon to create an even surface. If making the Tiramisu version, stir the cooled coffee into the yogurt before smoothing.

2. Incorporate the Biscuits Break your chosen biscuits into medium-sized chunks. Press them gently into the yogurt until they are partially submerged. This allows the moisture from the yogurt to soften the biscuits, creating a “sponge cake” texture.

3. The Overnight Transformation (Crucial Step) Cover the bowl with wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For the most authentic “viral cheesecake” texture, leave it overnight. The biscuits will swell and soften, melding perfectly with the tartness of the yogurt.

4. Garnish and Serve Remove from the fridge. If you’re enjoying the Tiramisu version, dust the top generously with cocoa powder right before serving. Dig in and enjoy a high-protein dessert that tastes like a cheat meal!

 Pro-Tips for the Best Results

  • Choose the Right Yogurt: For a decadent feel without the fat, use a thick authentic Greek Yogurt or Skyr rather than “Greek-style” yogurt.

  • Biscuit Options: To keep it extra healthy, use high-fiber options like Nairn’s Caramelised Moments or Hi-Fi bars.

  • Add Sweetness: If your yogurt is very tart, stir in a drop of liquid stevia or vanilla extract before chilling.
