This Viral Japanese Cheesecake has been my obsession lately. I've made it several times with many variations, and I've added my own touch to take it to the next level. It is a recipe you need to try.

Viral Japanese Cheesecake - My Way
I've tried the two-ingredient Japanese cheesecake, and let me tell you, it was just yogurt with cookies! It lacked that cheesecake taste and did not even come close.
It was healthy, protein-packed, but still not my favorite sweet snack. I've added different sweeteners, and it was much better. But when I tried it with Cottage cheese, bingo, that was it. It was rich, sweet, still sort of healthy-ish, and I made 4 different flavors for the 4 seasons of the year. Check out below for my favorite flavors.
Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese.
- Flavored Sweeteners, here I've used: lemon curd (spring), strawberry jam (summer), apple sauce or apple pie filling (fall), and chocolate spread (winter).
- Cookies: any type of cookies to match the flavor you choose. I've used lemon cookies, graham crackers, cinnamon graham crackers, and double chocolate cookies.
Pro Tip
Blend the cottage cheese before scooping to get that creamy texture.

Final Thought
This was something for me and my husband, kids showed no interest in trying it. I liked the lemon, apple and strawberry jam versions more. While my husband, a non chocolate lover, surprisingly liked the strawberry and chocolate more.
The amount of sweetener and cookies depend on your liking. Add more or less to your taste.
FAQs
Obviously, this is not the fluffy baked traditional Japanese cheesecake. This is a viral Tiktok recipe that has started from a Japanese account, hence the name.
You can keep these jars in your fridge for up to 3 days. But freezing is not recommended.
Of course, this is a very flexible recipe. Use low sugar jams, honey and fresh fruits, and your favorite cookies.
