Ingredients for the Japanese Cheesecake without Added Sugar
- 1 cup Skyr – for an extra protein boost
- 1–2 tbsp psyllium husks – for the fiber kick
- NEOH Hazelnut Crunch
Optional (but we recommend it):
- 1–2 tsp ZERO+ – for extra sweetness
- 1 handful of blueberries (other berries work too)
How to Make the Creamy Japanese Yogurt Cheesecake Without Added Sugar
1. Prepare the container
Choose a container of your choice, ideally one you can also use for storage later. Alternatively, you can mix the batter separately first and then transfer it.
2. Mix the base
For this Japanese cheesecake without added sugar, thoroughly stir together Skyr and psyllium husks. Then add ZERO+ to taste and fold in the blueberries (either whole or slightly crushed).
3. Transfer (if mixed separately)
If you prepared the mixture in a separate bowl, now pour it into a mold of your choice. We recommend a deep, rectangular mold for even layering.
4. Incorporate Hazelnut
For the perfect Japanese yogurt cheesecake, gently press the NEOH Hazelnut Crunch on its narrow side into the cream. Place them side by side so the pieces are partially embedded but still visible. Layer until you reach the desired amount or the container is full. Depending on the container size, it may be helpful to halve the bars.
5. Seal
Then close the container with the lid or alternatively cover it airtight with cling film.
6. Let it rest
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3–6 hours. For the perfect consistency and an especially soft result, we recommend letting it sit overnight (about 8–12 hours). The Japanese cheesecake without added sugar develops its particularly creamy texture after a few hours in the fridge.
7. The final step
Enjoy

Why this version is worth it
This version is more than just a trend recipe. It combines creaminess with balance and mindful sweetness with a good feeling.

Sweetened with ZERO+, it creates a pleasant sweetness that doesn’t overwhelm but stays harmonious.
The hype delivers the idea, NEOH the upgrade.
