No-Bake Alfajores Cheesecake

Yield: 12 servings
Prep Time: 40 minutes
Level: Medium

Ingredients:

Cookie layer:

  • 36 tea biscuits
  • ¾ cup Tnuva Zees chocolate waffle with hazelnuts spread
  • ¾ cup unsweetened grated coconut
  • ½ cup milk

Cheese layer:

  • 1 8-ounce container heavy cream
  • 2 containers Tnuva Quark Soft Creamy Cheese 9%
  • ½ cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding
  • ½ cup Tnuva Zees chocolate waffle with hazelnuts spread

Icing:

  • 3.5 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Tnuva Zees chocolate waffle with hazelnuts spread

Instructions:

  1. Dip each tea biscuit into the milk and arrange in a pan so that you have room for 12 biscuits (4 rows of 3).
  2. Heat the Zees spread for a couple of seconds in the microwave so that it is soft, and spread over the biscuits. Sprinkle coconut on top.
  3. Prepare the cheese layer: Put all the ingredients in a mixer bowl and beat slowly at first. Gradually increase speed until you have a thick cream. Spread half of the mixture on top of the coconut.
  4. Prepare the next layer in the same way: Dip 12 biscuits in milk, and then top with Zees spread, coconut and the remaining cheese mixture. End with a third layer of 12 biscuits dipped in milk.
  5. Wrap the cake well and put in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
  6. Prepare the icing: Heat the cream in a saucepan until almost boiling. Add the chopped chocolate and let stand for a minute. Add the Zees spread and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture over the cooled cake.
  7. Garnish with coconut if desired.
