Each year, I post my Melomakarona cheesecake recipe and there’s always a smart-ass that chirps, “we never have leftovers…ahahahah”.
Here’s another inventive way to use up some of your Melomakarona cookies (buy or make more if you don’t have any left). It’s a no-bake cheesecake dessert served individually in glasses.
For this recipe, I’ve chosen to use Mascarpone cheese but you can use cream cheese instead. Whipping the cream cheese with cream gives you a nice airy consistency, accents of orange and honey are added and besides it being a quick and easy dessert to prepare, it’s pretty…and pretty tasty!

- For each serving, use your hands to crumble to about half a cookie into the bottom of each glass.

- Finally, garnish with pomegranate seeds and serve or place the glasses on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to two days before serving.
