I make a really easy one:
500+ grams gvina levaina, drained for a few hours
1 shamenet (sour cream)
1/2 c sugar
3 eggs
1 vanilla sugar
1 T flour
opt - alittle instant vanilla pudding

mix,
flavor if you want (mix in melted white chocolate, milk chocolate, marble in some chocolate, whatever you want to do)

bake at 130-135 celsius for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or however long it takes to firm up.
It comes out really creamy and gets rave reviews!

That looks pretty similar to mine, except that mine has an optional graham cracker (petit beurre) crumb crust. I make mine in mini silicone pans (single servings), and often buy a container of pie filling. Two spoonsful of pie filling in the hole, then the cheesecake mix...mmm.


Thanks so much for posting this!!

Finally a recipe without the Shamenet Metuka.

Wow this sounds nice.

I wonder what % of Gvina Levana you used? I'm trying to cut back on cholestrol so I'm draining a 5% one now. I know 9% is better, but not on the calories.

Marion, can a graham cracker crust be made with biscuts?


I just made it and it looks great!!!!!! My husband said it looks professional so thank you!!!!!

no bake cheese cake

tea bisquits dark and light

2 5% cheese
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
vanilla sugar
1 instant vanilla pudding

whip the heavy cream (careful not to overwhip) add in remaining ingredients
layer in a 9x13 pan tea bisquits, cheese, tea bisquits, cheese, teabisquits (alternate the dark and light color)
coat with a chocolate cream (I dont have a recipe offhand)
its a delicious and quick recipe, great if you dont have a milchig oven. (my dh actually asked me to get this recipe from someone as he likes it better than cream cheese recipes

sped- your recipe looks good, but I have a couple of questions about it, if you dont mind my asking.
1-firstly, is it thick and creamy? or light and airy?
(there are many recipes here but no descriptions of how they taste- there are different types!)
2- secondly, drain the cheese meaning in a pillowcase, like ev/os been saying? if not that way, how?
and doesnt that make a huge mess?
3- is that shamenet chamutza or plain shamenet? someone said chamutza is sour cream
thanx!- new at this and a bit confused!

bumping this up...
does anyone know the answers to these? who's tried sped's recipe?
thanks

Generally when you drain cheese, you wrap it in cheesecloth and squeeze and then put in a sieve or colander with a heavy plate to help squeeze out the water.

It's the way one makes yogurt cheese and is also a way to make pot cheese/farmer's cheese from more watery ricotta.

It's not particularly messy because you squeeze over the sink and then obviously put the colander/sieve over a bowl to catch any additional water.

Yes, 1kg.
Use butter, not margarine.
Though I've used 1/2% and left out the butter and egg yolk and it was still delicious.
When it's done, turn off the oven, but leave it in until it's cool. That firms it nicely.
