Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 125g full fat or low fat Greek yogurt
- 4 Biscoff cookies (or Oreos, shortbread, tea biscuits, digestive biscuits)
Optional Toppings
- Crushed cookies
- Berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- Jam
- Honey
- Lemon zest
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt: Spoon the thick Greek yogurt into a container and use the back of the spoon to smooth the surface evenly.
- Insert the Cookies: Place the cookies upright in tight rows into the yogurt, ensuring they are mostly submerged to help them soften and integrate with the yogurt.
- Chill the Cheesecake: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the cheesecake to set and firm up properly.
- Serve: Serve the cheesecake directly from the container or carefully unmold and slice it. Add your choice of optional toppings such as crushed cookies, fresh berries, jam, honey, or a sprinkle of lemon zest just before serving to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Using full fat Greek yogurt will give a richer, creamier texture, but low fat can be used for a lighter version.
- Choose cookies based on your preference; spiced or caramel cookies like Biscoff add a unique flavor, while Oreos provide a classic taste.
- Ensure the cookies are mostly submerged in yogurt to soften them and fuse flavors for a better cheesecake-like texture.
- Allow sufficient chilling time for the cheesecake to fully set; overnight refrigeration yields the best consistency.
- Toppings are optional but recommended to add visual appeal and extra flavor dimension.
