We Tried the Viral Greek Yogurt & Biscoff Cheesecake Hack in Bali — Will It Beat the Real Thing?

Trying trendy food hacks while traveling can either land you a delicious surprise or a pricey regret. During our family trip to Bali, we stumbled upon the viral Greek yogurt and Lotus Biscoff cheesecake hack that’s been taking over social media — and of course, we had to try it! The recipe is super simple: just Greek yogurt and crushed Lotus Biscoff biscuits layered into a makeshift cheesecake, chilled to perfection. Sounds easy, right? But here's the Bali catch — between snagging imported Biscoff biscuits and a decent tub of Greek yogurt, we ended up spending close to $15. That’s more than you’d pay for two full cheesecakes at some local cafés! As it set in the fridge, the suspense was real. Would it be worth the hype (and the price)? Finally, we gave it a taste. And the verdict? It’s deliciously creamy with that signature caramel Biscoff crunch. It actually tastes like a lighter, tangier version of cheesecake — perfect for tropical weather dessert cravings. Our kids loved the fun of making it, and it made for a great in-villa activity on a chill Bali afternoon. Is it better than the real thing? That’s debatable. It definitely doesn’t beat a freshly baked slice from a seaside café, but it's a fun and refreshing alternative — especially if you're traveling light and don’t have access to an oven. For family travelers in Bali, this hack is a cute, no-bake treat to try with the kids — just be ready for the price tag if you’re buying the ingredients locally. Pro tip: if you’re planning ahead, pack a small stash of Biscoff biscuits from home to save a few bucks!
