As Shavuot approaches, I’m sharing this creamy cheesecake again—pure white and glossy. Easy and indulgent without breaking the calorie bank, with a speculoos crust and delicate lemon flavor, it’s always a hit at my house.

As Shavuot approaches, I’m adding a new easy cheesecake here, the no-bake cheesecake. It features a cookie crust topped with a very fresh cream cheese layer, egg-free, and is a variation of the traditional Ashkenazi baked cheesecake. You’ll find this cake everywhere in Israel—here’s the recipe to make it at home.

This kosher Polish cheesecake (Käse kuchen), emblematic of Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, is a true delight of sweetness and nostalgia. It’s one of those recipes you find in grandmothers’ recipe notebooks, in this case, Micheline’s. It stands tall with an airy texture, thanks to the beaten egg whites.

A classic brownie enhanced with creamy cheesecake swirls. This original cake is a must-try dessert that combines the best of both worlds.
