Recipe Ingredients

Ingredient Notes

Greek Yogurt – Use thick plain Greek yogurt for the best texture. If there’s liquid (whey) on top, stir it in before adding the cookies. Full-fat, 2%, or nonfat all work—just expect slight texture differences.

Single-Serve Cups vs. Large Tub – Smaller yogurt cups soften faster and give more even cookie coverage. Large tubs may need layering for better distribution.

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Recipe Variations

Use Vanilla or Cheesecake Greek Yogurt instead of plain for a sweeter, dessert-style flavor.

Try Different Cookies like Oreos, graham crackers, shortbread, or Belvita instead of Biscoff.

Make It Chocolate by stirring in a spoonful of cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder before adding the cookies.

Add Fruit such as sliced strawberries or bananas between the cookie layers.

Boost the Protein by mixing in a scoop of vanilla protein powder with the yogurt before assembling.
