Ingredients

1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full fat for best results)
1 1/2 cups crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
(Optional: 2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup for sweetness)

Directions

Start by crushing your digestive biscuits into a fine crumb. You can do this by placing them in a sealed bag and smashing them with a rolling pin or by pulsing them in a food processor. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture will be thick and slightly sticky. Press this dough firmly into a small dish or a lined loaf pan. For a classic cheesecake shape, you can press the mixture into a small springform pan. Refrigerate the 2-Ingredient Yogurt Biscuit Cheesecake for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set. This step is crucial for achieving a sliceable consistency. Once chilled, slice and serve. You can top it with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dusting of cinnamon. This 2-Ingredient Yogurt Biscuit Cheesecake is incredibly simple and rewarding.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 4 to 6 servings, depending on how you slice it. The prep time is a mere 5 minutes, and the total time, including chilling, is around 35 minutes. It is a wonderfully fast dessert.

Variations

You can easily customize this 2-Ingredient Yogurt Biscuit Cheesecake to suit your taste. For a chocolate version, swap the plain digestive biscuits for chocolate ones. If you want a citrusy kick, add the zest of one lemon or orange to the mixture. For a sweeter treat, fold in some mini chocolate chips or dried fruit. You can also use flavored yogurt, like vanilla or strawberry, for a different profile. The base recipe is incredibly forgiving.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but the texture will be much softer and less firm. Greek yogurt is thicker and provides a better structure for the cheesecake. If you use regular yogurt, you may need to add a bit more crushed biscuits to achieve a sliceable consistency.

What kind of biscuits should I use?

Digestive biscuits are the classic choice, but graham crackers, shortbread cookies, or even vanilla wafers work wonderfully. The key is to use a dry, crumbly cookie that will absorb the moisture from the yogurt. For more on the history of biscuits, you can visit this Wikipedia article on digestive biscuits.

Can I make this 2-Ingredient Yogurt Biscuit Cheesecake vegan?

Absolutely. Use a plant-based Greek-style yogurt (like coconut or soy yogurt) and ensure your biscuits are vegan-friendly. The recipe works perfectly with these substitutions.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

It can be. You just need to use gluten-free digestive biscuits or graham crackers. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free.

Why is my mixture too dry or too wet?

The texture can vary depending on the brand of yogurt and biscuits. If it is too dry, add a tablespoon of yogurt at a time until it comes together. If it is too wet, add a bit more crushed biscuit. The final mixture should be like a thick dough. The science of yogurt is fascinating; you can learn more about it at this Wikipedia article on yogurt.
