Much different then the baked sweet sleek smoothness of a New York-style cheesecake, the Israeli version is not too sweet and full of crumbly texture with every smooth, delicious, creamy bite.
4 packages of Kedem Tea Biscuits (vanilla or original flavor)
2 sticks of butter, melted
16 ounces heavy cream
1 package Gefen Instant Vanilla Pudding
1/4 cup Gefen Confectioners’ Sugar
3 tablespoons Gefen Vanilla Sugar
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
2 (250-gram) containers 9% quark soft cheese (see note)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup whipped cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
Process the biscuits with the melted butter in a food processor till you have a sand-like mixture.
Set aside half of the crumbs to use for the topping. Use the other half as the crust.
In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, press the crumb mixture down well into the bottom of the pan to form a crust. Stick that in the freezer for 15 minutes while you make your filling.
In a large bowl, add the heavy cream.
Using a hand whisk or a mixer, slowly whip the cream for about two to three minutes. It shouldn’t be whipped entirely but just getting thicker.
Slowly add the rest of the ingredients one at a time as you consistently mix with the mixer.
Once everything is in the bowl and you’ve mixed till combined, you should have a very thick yet very whipped-like mixture that is still airy.
Pour the filling into the crust and spread out till even.
Then garnish the top entirely with the rest of the crumb mixture you set aside.
Cover the cheesecake and let it set in the fridge overnight or for at least five to six hours.
