If you’ve been on Israeli social media in early 2026, you’ve probably seen it: people stuffing Lotus Biscoff cookies into cups of yogurt, refrigerating them overnight, and flipping out a dessert that looks like a proper cheesecake. The trend, known in Israel as “עוגת גבינה יפנית” (Japanese cheesecake) or “טרנד היוגורט היפני” (the Japanese yogurt trend), has flooded Israeli TikTok, Instagram, and food blogs. Major outlets like Ynet and Israel Hayom have covered it extensively, and Tnuva has confirmed a noticeable uptick in people using their protein yogurts for the recipe.
