Ingredients

Marrakech Style Israeli No-Bake Cheesecake Cups

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

  • 3/4 cup gevina levana

Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture

1.

In a large bowl, whip your heavy cream starting on low speed and gradually increasing as the mixture thickens. Whip until medium stiff peaks form and set aside.

Separately, whisk together gevina levana and ricotta cheese, then add in confectioner’s sugar, salt, vanilla, and orange blossom water and combine. Fold in whipped cream.

Prepare the “Pistachio Sprinkles”

In a small bowl, combine crushed pistachios, rose petals, and orange zest.

Assemble

Looks delicious but some of the ingredients can only be gotten in Israel. What is gevina levana in the US? And what type of biscuits should be used in the US?

Gevina levana is quark cheese and comes in 3-5-and 9%. As she says in the video, you can use any type of cookie you biscuit that you like.
