Known in Israel as crumble-cheesecake, this is one of the most popular cheesecakes in the country. As with most other Israeli cheesecakes, this one uses the Israeli white cheese, a type German quark. A good alternative is Turkish labneh, which is less sour than the traditional labneh, available at Middle Eastern supermarkets. Another, more readily available alternative, is to use a combination of cream cheese, sour cream and Icelandic yogurt - SKYR (details in the recipe below.)Use a 9” x 12” cake or a 11” round cake pan (a slightly smaller or larger pan will work as well, and will just make a taller or shorter cake)
The Israeli crumble cheesecake is not too sweet and full of crumbly texture with every smooth, delicious, creamy bite.
