This viral Japanese cheesecake has been everywhere lately—and for good reason. It’s a no-bake, high-protein recipe that feels indulgent while still fitting seamlessly into an everyday routine. With minimal ingredients and maximum payoff, it comes together effortlessly and delivers on both flavor and function.
Finished with Biscoff cookies and a generous cacao dusting, it sits perfectly between cheesecake and tiramisu; creamy, lightly tangy, and quietly packed with protein for a truly satisfying healthier dessert!
1 tub plain Greek yogurt
2 scoops Wellious Real Vanilla Almond Protein
2 shots espresso, fully cooled
8-10 Biscoff cookies
Cacao powder, for dusting
Open the tub of Greek yogurt and set aside the lid.
Add 2 scoops of Wellious Vanilla Protein directly into the yogurt.
Mix thoroughly until the yogurt and protein powder are completely smooth.
Pour the cooled espresso over the yogurt-protein mixture and stir until fully combined and creamy.
Gently press whole Biscoff cookies into the mixture, standing them upright around the edges and nestling a few into the center.
Cover with the lid and refrigerate for 4–6 hours (or overnight), until chilled and set.
Remove from the fridge, dust generously with cacao powder, serve, and enjoy.
Can this recipe be customized?
Absolutely. The yogurt base is intentionally simple, making it easy to customize depending on flavor cravings, season, or occasion. As long as the base stays thick and creamy, the mix-ins are flexible.
What cookies work best besides Biscoff?
Any firm cookie that softens well in the fridge works beautifully. Great options include graham crackers, ladyfingers, chocolate wafers, or vanilla sandwich cookies.
Can other flavors of protein be used?
Yes. While vanilla keeps the flavor balanced and cheesecake-like, chocolate protein works well for richer variations. The key is using a smooth protein like Wellious that blends easily into yogurt!
