Now you can have your cake, eat it and relax. No-Bake cheesecake is infused with the flavors of my favorite Israeli dessert, halva. Two of my favorite things, quick and halvah!
No Bake Chocolate Halva Cheesecake
Servings
8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely ground chocolate cookies crumbs about 30 cookies4 ounces melted unsalted butter
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 pound cream cheese room temperature
- 14- ounce can condensed milk2 teaspoons vanilla extract12 ounces marbled chocolate halvah roughly chopped
- Garnish: additional halvah crumbled as a topping
Instructions
- Crust:
- Stir crumbs, butter and salt together. Press crumbs into the bottom and about 1-inch up the sides of an 8-inch spring form pan (I use a small glass to help get into the edges of the pan).
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Cheesecake:
- Beat cream cheese, on low, with a paddle attachment of a mixer until smooth and creamy. Add condensed milk and vanilla and beat until incorporated.
- Mix in halvah by hand to keep from breaking it up too much.
- Pour into chilled crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Run a spatula around the edge to loosen it from the pan.
- Remove from pan. Garnish with halvah crumbs.
Most markets sell it, hard to find a substitute
Hi, any alternative for condensed milk? I have never seen it in my local shops…
I brought this cheesecake to my daughter and son in law tonite for our grandsons first birthday which is also on Shavuot . It was such a hit , my son in
Law would not let me take home any left overs. I guess I should be flattered ! It was delicious!
