How to Make Oreo Japanese Style Cheesecake

  1. In a bowl, mix the skyr and chocolate protein powder until smooth and fully combined. The mixture should be thick, creamy, and spreadable.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a glass container or small baking dish and smooth the top.
  3. Gently press the Oreo cookies into the surface, arranging them evenly. You can push them in slightly or leave them more visible on top.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set.

Texture and Flavor Notes

This dessert is meant to be light and spoonable, not dense like a classic baked cheesecake. The texture is creamy and airy, similar to the viral Japanese style cheesecake desserts seen online.

The flavor is chocolatey but balanced. Even people who are not big on protein desserts usually find this one surprisingly impressive once chilled.

If your protein powder is very thick, use closer to 400 g skyr. If it is lighter, 350 g works well.
