Impossible to miss: this express "cheesecake" is making the rounds on TikTok and Instagram, and it's easy to see why... All you have to do is stick a few cookies (here we opted for Biscoff speculoos) in some Greek or skyr yoghurt, smooth the yoghurt over the top... then let the fridge do the rest. After a few hours, the cookies soften just right and you get a creamy texture, a bit like quick cheesecake ;) It's quick, economical and perfect when you're in the mood for an indulgent dessert without having to get out a mixing bowl. Prepare it in the morning for the evening (or leave it overnight if you're more patient), and customise it endlessly with fruit, a coulis or a little chocolate. Simple, effective... and downright addictive!
