With my love of the purple drank, Jew knew this was coming, right?? Manischewitz Cheesecake!!
Dairy Jewish recipes — blintzes, cheesecake, cream cheese, kugel, every dish that needs butter, sour cream, ricotta, or labneh. The dairy half of the kosher meat-dairy separation, perfect for Shavuot (the dairy holiday), Sunday brunch, or any meatless dinner.
Cheesecake is the obvious star — and there are 70+ variations on this site alone (see the 70 cheesecake recipes roundup). Blueberry blintzes are the breakfast-or-dessert flex. Homemade cream cheese takes 30 minutes and beats any supermarket brick; pair it with dill pickle cream cheese and flavored variations for a brunch board. Kugels rotate sweet (with cream cheese and raisins) or savory (with sour cream and fried onions).
Each recipe is naturally dairy-forward — substitute non-dairy versions where called out, but the texture is better with the real thing. For Shavuot especially, build a full meal here: blintzes + cheesecake + a shakshuka for the savory side.
