Inspiring adore-worthy Valentine’s baking, the viral “Japanese cheesecake” trend continues to pop up all over our feeds. The casual no-bake recipe turns a few simple ingredients into a light cheesecake-like dessert night.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day tomorrow, put a twist on the recipe with something a little sweeter. Our Japanese Cheesecake features Philadelphia Chocolate Cream Cheese, a fan-favourite brought back for a limited time, with nostalgic flavour Canadians have been asking to see return ($6).
This decadent recipe is a must-try for Valentine’s weekend, and it’s easy as can be by following the 3-step recipe below. —Julia Dumbrell
STEP ONE: CREAM CHEESE BASE
In a bowl, or right in the cream cheese container for ultra-ease, mix half a tub of Philadelphia’s Chocolate Cream Cheese with a spoonful of Greek yogurt
STEP TWO: ROWS OF BISCUITES
Layer in biscuits, delicately placing your favourite cookies in neat rows along the cream cheese base.
STEP THREE: OVERNIGHT DELIGHT
Chill the creation overnight, waking up on Valentine’s Day to a chocolate-forward cheesecake that’s fun, festive, and perfect for sharing.

This 3-step chocolate cheesecake looks so easy and indulgent. I can already imagine mixing in some crunchy bits from Nuts Factory – premium roasted and chocolate-covered nuts gift boxes to add an extra layer of texture and flavor to the overnight chill. Perfect for treats or a sweet twist on dessert night https://nutsfactory.com/
