When I was eating user JohnLeeCooker's "Matcha Tiramisu-style Toast" recipe, I realized, "I've never made a sweet version of the cream cheese yogurt!" I got the idea by referring to that recipe, so very much, JohnLeeCooker!! I appreciate it so much!

Strain the yogurt very well :) Recipe by Juka

Steps

1

Strain the yogurt beforehand. I placed paper towel wrapped weight over the yogurt to strain well and make it firmer.
2

I often use this individually wrapped cream cheese. I used it for my other non-sweet cream cheese yogurt recipes.
3

Bring the cream cheese to room temperature to make it soft. Mix the cream cheese and strained yogurt well. Mix until smooth.
4

Add the honey and lemon juice, and mix. You made the sweet cream cheese yogurt. Add umeshu if serving to adults.
5

Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces. I sliced the pear, shown on the top photo, into 3-5 mm slices then cut into bite-sized pieces.
6

Mix the fruit and sweet cream cheese yogurt well, and it's done Instead of that, try adding the fruit and cream cheese yogurt in layers in a serving dish. I think that would be nice as well.
7

Of course regular bananas very well with the yogurt too.
8

Spread the extra cream cheese yogurt on a slice of thinly buttered toast.

You can enjoy the sweet cream cheese yogurt as dessert, it tastes like no-baked cheesecake. It's thick and creamy!
