Israeli Cheesecake is a delicate dessert rooted in Middle Eastern culinary traditions, featuring a light, creamy texture. Typically made with soft white cheeses such as quark or 5% to 9% fat Israeli soft cheese, it offers a slightly tangy flavor balanced by sweetness. The base may consist of a simple layer of crumbled biscuits or a crust similar to American cheesecakes. Eggs, sugar, and vanilla are staples in its preparation. What sets Israeli Cheesecake apart is its lower fat content compared to other cheesecakes, making it a lighter dessert option. Rich in calcium and protein, it supports bone health, but the added sugar and refined ingredients can limit its nutritional benefits if eaten in excess. Often made without heavy cream, it caters to those seeking a less decadent yet satisfying treat, perfect for celebrations or Shavuot, a Jewish holiday traditionally associated with dairy dishes.
