The TikTok trend scores points in several ways: the dessert can be prepared in no time at all, requires just two ingredients and is therefore inexpensive. All you need are Lotus Biscoff cookies and Greek yoghurt, and the comparatively low calorie content makes the Japanese cheesecake a light dessert alternative.

The ingredients for the Japanese cheesecake: Biscoff guetsli and Greek yogurt.

The TikTok trend for Japanese cheesecake originally came from Japan, where influencers shared an unbaked dessert version with just a few ingredients. The recipe spread around the world via social media and was adapted with lotus biscoff cookies, for example. The trend has little in common with the classic Japanese soufflé cheesecake.
