Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 6 cookies of choice (such as graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or vanilla wafers)
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Base: Place the vanilla Greek yogurt into a small jar or container, smoothing out the top evenly. Leave approximately 1 inch of space at the top of the container to allow room for the cookies.
- Add the Cookies: Press the six cookies gently down into the yogurt until they are fully submerged, ensuring even coverage and that the cookies soak into the yogurt.
- Chill: Cover the container securely and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften, creating a creamy, cheesecake-like texture.
Notes
- You can substitute vanilla Greek yogurt with plain Greek yogurt sweetened with a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer.
- Choose cookies that will absorb moisture well without disintegrating too quickly, such as graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or vanilla wafers.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon or lemon zest on the yogurt before adding the cookies.
- This recipe is designed as a single serving but can be easily scaled up.
- The longer the refrigeration, the softer and more infused the cookies become, enhancing the cheesecake effect.
