While these recipes advertise themselves as being “life-changing” and incredibly close to the real version of what they are mimicking, they often fall short. I never thought I would eat my words as quickly as I ate the two-ingredient Japanese cheesecake I’m about to talk you into trying. Two minutes later, my budding creation safe in the cool arms of refrigeration, I went to bed, eager to see if the myth of the two-ingredient cheesecake was true. Well, ladies and gents, let me be the first reputable Gaucho foodie to tell you: This is not a drill, the two-ingredient japanese cheesecake is real and easily within your reach. I know it’s supposed to mimic a Japanese cheesecake, which it certainly did so in texture (light and fluffy), but for me the flavor was more traditional.
