The viral two-ingredient Japanese cheesecake doesn\u2019t require a recipe, detailed instructions, or any cooking at all. It also happens to be high-protein and easy to make ahead of time for breakfast or dessert.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> This popular new treat only calls for two components: yogurt and Biscoff cookies. Although you\u2019ll often see it described online as a \u201cviral Japanese cheesecake\u201d or \u201cJapanese yogurt cheesecake,\u201d it isn\u2019t similar to the light, souffl\u00e9-style cheesecakes Japan is known for. Instead, the trend is named for its origin: the social media sensation began in Japan, where home cooks shared how they used\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@worldofxtra\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">sabl\u00e9 cookies<\/a>\u00a0to make a two-ingredient dish that tastes like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/desserts\/cheesecakes\/cheesecake-recipes\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"2\">cheesecake<\/a>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Americans have turned to the caramelized, spiced flavor of Biscoff cookies to really infuse the dish with cheesecake-like flavor. And after testing the trend, I can confirm it deserves the hype.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-to-make-the-viral-japanese-cheesecake\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How to make the viral Japanese cheesecake <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Making this dish at home is unbelievably easy, but the ingredients you choose matter. You can use any crispy, crumbly, and buttery cookie to make the trend \u2014 feel free to try the original version from Japan, which focused on sabl\u00e9-style biscuits \u2014 but the browned butter and spice notes in Biscoff will come closest to recreating the flavor you expect from an American cheesecake crust.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you can\u2019t find classic Biscoff, you can substitute graham crackers or Biscoff sandwich cookies, which have layers of cookie butter stuffed inside. I used the latter to make my \u201ccheesecake,\u201d and they worked quite well; just note that you\u2019ll have some firm chunks of cookie butter floating throughout the dish.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> For the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/know-your-yogurts-7500601\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">yogurt<\/a>, select something on the thicker side, like Greek yogurt or Icelandic skyr. These are both particularly tangy, which helps produce a cream cheese-like flavor in the final product too. Either plain or flavored yogurt works; just make sure you select a flavor that pairs well with the Biscoff. For example, vanilla yogurt would be delicious. (Some creators have used blended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/cottage-cheese-taste-test-11887564\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"2\">cottage cheese<\/a> instead of yogurt. I wouldn\u2019t recommend this because it takes more effort \u2014 you have to blend the cheese \u2014 and cottage cheese contains a lot of salt.)\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> To make the two-ingredient cheesecake, insert as many Biscoff cookies as possible directly into the yogurt container. If the tub of yogurt is filled to the brim before you begin, it may be best to remove a few spoonfuls of the dairy, because the yogurt will rise as you add cookies to its volume.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Push the cookies in vertically, leaving just a little space between them. How many you add is up to you, but the flavor of the yogurt is fairly strong, so I recommend leaning on the Biscoff-heavy side to make sure you can taste the cookies. Cover the yogurt and Biscoff and leave them in the refrigerator overnight or for at least a few hours. As they sit, the biscuits will absorb moisture from the yogurt and become soft and spoonable, so you can easily scoop up bites for breakfast.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-what-does-the-japanese-yogurt-cheesecake-taste-like\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block foodandwine-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> What does the Japanese yogurt cheesecake taste like? <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Despite its name, Biscoff and yogurt together don\u2019t taste identical to cheesecake. (Largely because this combo doesn\u2019t include cream cheese, lots of sugar, and eggs.) This trend is, however, very good.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The cookies soften in the same way that Nilla wafers do in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/miss-myras-banana-pudding-6422091\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">banana pudding<\/a> or like Oreos dipped in milk. You can easily scoop up a bite of creamy, tangy yogurt with spiced, buttery Biscoff, and it comes close enough to a cheesecake that it\u2019s undeniably delicious. I also recommend crushing some still-crisp Biscoff to sprinkle on top of the \u201ccheesecake\u201d right before serving, which will add a little textural contrast.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> What really sets this apart from a cheesecake is the lack of sugar. This, plus the protein you get from yogurt, also makes it a more suitable option for breakfast. However, if you want to amp up the dessert-like flavor, try swirling some maple syrup into the yogurt before you add the cookies. If you need a dinner party dessert that takes five minutes of active effort, this might just do the trick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/viral-two-ingredient-japanese-cheesecake-11888922\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The internet\u2019s best food inventions are the ones that require little to no effort.
