Description
This creamy 2-Ingredient Yogurt Cheesecake is a quick and lighter no-bake dessert inspired by Japanese cheesecake flavors. Layered with cookies, yogurt, and fun toppings, it is soft, tangy, and perfectly chilled.
Ingredients
- 3 cups plain Greek yogurt (you may also use vanilla yogurt)
- 2 graham cracker sheets (about 16 rectangles; coconut sable, Oreos, lady fingers, or Biscoff cookies also work)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 thin Oreos
- 2 tablespoons cookies and cream powder
- 1/2 banana (thinly sliced)
- 1.5 lady finger cookies (broken in half)
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles
- 1.5 lady finger cookies (broken in half)
- 1 tablespoon raspberry chia jam
- 1/2 graham cracker sheet (4 rectangles)
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, honey, and almond extract if using.
- Divide the yogurt mixture evenly among 4 small 6-ounce glass jars or use one larger container.
- Stir in optional mix-ins such as cookies and cream powder, sprinkles, or raspberry chia jam if desired.
- Layer the cookies and banana slices into the yogurt mixture, leaving a small gap between layers so the yogurt can soften the cookies evenly.
- Top each jar with crushed Oreos, graham crackers, or additional cookie crumbs.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully set and softened. Larger cookies like lady fingers may require additional chilling time.
Notes
- Vanilla Greek yogurt can be used for a sweeter flavor without extra honey.
- Customize each jar with different cookies, fruit, or jam combinations.
- For a firmer texture, chill overnight before serving.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add protein powder for a higher-protein dessert variation.
