This 2-Ingredient Japanese Cheesecake (Vegan Version) is a simple, no-bake dessert made by layering creamy dairy-free yogurt with gluten-free cookies and letting it chill until soft and cake-like. As it rests, the cookies absorb moisture from the yogurt, creating a light, cheesecake-like texture without any baking. Optionally sweetened with maple syrup and served with fresh fruit, this easy dessert is perfect for a quick treat with minimal effort and ingredients.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Sweeten the yogurt (optional):
If using, stir the maple syrup into the yogurt until smooth.
Fill the jar:
Spoon the yogurt into a small glass jar or individual-portioned container.
Insert the cookies:
Gently slide the 7 Sweet Thins into the yogurt at a slight angle. Place 5 in the center close together, and 2 on the sides. Make sure the cookies don't poke straight up, but leave tiny gaps so you can see the yogurt between them.
Cover and chill:
Refrigerate the jar for at least 3-4 hours, though overnight is ideal to achieve the best "cheesecake" texture.
Serve!
Enjoy chilled with fruit on the side if desired.
