Prepare the Base and Batters
To prepare base, place biscuits in your food processor and pulse until you have crumbs. In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit crumbs with cocoa powder. Add melted butter and mix well.
Line a 10-inch (25.5-cm) springform pan with parchment paper (cut circle to fit pan). Press crumbs evenly into bottom of pan.
Using a hand beater, mix cheese, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Wait two minutes and then beat again until sugar is completely dissolved and mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add to the cheese mixture. Add sour cream, heavy cream, and cooled melted butter.
Separate one cup of cheese mixture and stir instant pudding mix into it. (Don’t skip this step, or the cake will be lumpy.) Return the mixture to the cheese filling and stir until smooth. Divide batter evenly into two bowls.
For the white batter, break white chocolate into pieces and place in a small bowl. Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the cream onto the white chocolate in the bowl. Wait one minute and mix well. (If small bits of chocolate remain, melt mixture in microwave.) Mix until smooth. Combine with half of the cheese mixture and stir well.
Remove one cup of chocolate-cheese filling and stir in 1/2 package instant pudding mix. Return the mixture to the chocolate-cheese filling and stir well.
For the dark batter, break bittersweet and milk chocolate into pieces and place in a small bowl. Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the cream onto the chocolate in the bowl. Wait one minute and mix well. Combine with the remaining bowl of cheese filling and stir until smooth.
Remove one cup of chocolate-cheese filling and stir in 1/2 package instant chocolate pudding mix. Return the mixture to the chocolate-cheese filling and stir well.

Steps 6 and 8 are the same. Step 6 should be removed from the instructions
what can you substitute for the quark cheese in the U.S.?
A mixture of greek yogurt and sour cream is a pretty good substitute.
Came out heavenly!! Best cheesecake I've made with gvina levana!!
The taste is great and it looks so impressive! I made it last year and again this year!
Looking for 5% quark cheese Which kind of cheese is 5% quark cheese
If you are in Israel, it is regular white 5% cheese, put out by Tnuva, Tara, Strauss, and basically all of the dairies. If you are in America, you can get (maybe now with Corona, it might be a problem) Tnuva.
Is it like jj cream cheese
Since I am in Israel and do not know the consistency of JJ cream cheese, I am taking a guess that the JJ is thicker than the quark cheese. The quark cheese is known as white cheese. It is a soft easy consistency, easy to spread.
