A dessert of soft and fluffy individual no-bake cheesecake cups, laced with vanilla and digestive-boosting Yakult and topped with fresh raspberries and chocolate? You can feel a whole lot less guilty about having dessert thanks to this healthy twist!
No-bake cheesecake cups, yes please!
These no-bake cheesecake cups are a beautiful twist on traditional cheesecake with a sneaky infusion of digestive-boosting Yakult. This cheesecake recipe doesn’t contain gelatine, so they don’t set rock-solid or rubbery, they remain light and fluffy, much like a very moreish mousse texture. SUBLIME!
Yakult for all!
If you’re not familiar, Yakult is a tasty Probiotic fermented milk drink containing a very high concentration of the unique bacterium Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain (LcS). In a nutshell, this strain is scientifically proven to survive the journey through the gastric juices to reach the small intestine alive, and each of the 65ml bottles contains 6.5 billion of these highly acid-resistant bacteria. Amazing, right? Best of all, you’ll find Yakult readily available at the supermarket.
Suitable for the whole family, young and old, incorporating Yakult into your daily diet is a wise move! Not only will it help you to support your digestive system, but it’ll also help to restore the good flora in your gut, especially after antibiotics. Winning!
