Israeli Really Simple No Bake Cheesecake

Submitted by Rikal

"Every Israeli mother makes this when in a hurry or lazy. Great for parties or the Shavuot holiday. You can make it as small or as large as you need. There are also many ways to make it less rich to cut down calories but the taste will be affected. I often drizzle flavors on the top and between layers like maple syrup, silan (date honey), fig honey, dulce de leche or chocolate sauce."
