The viral Japanese cheesecake is taking Cyprus by storm! Try it with Lotus or Oreo, and you’ll be hooked!

If you haven’t seen this trend on social media, where have you been? Foodies, influencers, and bloggers in Cyprus (like cypruseats, achnagalcyprus, and many more) have all tried it. Now, everyone is making it with Lotus Biscoff + yogurt or Oreo + yogurt. It tastes so different from classic cheesecake! It’s no-bake, super easy, packed with protein, light, and reminds you of creamy Japanese soufflé cheesecake without needing an oven or eggs!

This viral hack uses just 2 ingredients and becomes incredibly delicious and creamy after a night in the fridge.

Ingredients (for 1 large bowl or 2-3 servings in glasses):

  1. 400-500g strained Greek yogurt (Fage or any thick variety, vanilla/plain – the thicker, the better!)
  2. 8-12 Lotus Biscoff biscuits (or Oreo for a chocolate version)

Step-by-step instructions (super easy, just 2 minutes prep!):

  1. Put the yogurt in a deep bowl or Tupperware container.
  2. Submerge whole Lotus Biscoff (or Oreo) into the yogurt. Press them down and stack them like a sandwich to cover fully.
  3. Cover well with a lid or cling film and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Some even freeze it for an ice-cream-like texture!
  4. After 8 hours: The biscuits will be soft and flavorful, while the yogurt turns super creamy like cheesecake! Cut into pieces or eat with a spoon.

Extra tips to make it even better:

  • Add melted Lotus spread (cookie butter) on top for extra caramel goodness.
  • For the Oreo version: Follow the same process – it becomes more chocolaty and addictive!
  • Custom ideas: Add strawberries, coffee (for a tiramisu twist), cinnamon, or crushed biscuits inside.
  • High-protein bonus: You can get 30-40g+ protein per serving – perfect for a post-gym treat!

It’s surprisingly delicious – creamy, light, with intense caramel/chocolate flavor without being too sweet. Bloggers say “you won’t believe how good it turns out with so few ingredients”!
