In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, crushed cookies, and melted butter. Mix well and press firmly onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes and let it cool.
In another mixing bowl, beat the NORMAN’S KOSHER CHOLOV YISROEL CREAM CHEESE, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until well combined and smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time into the mixing bowl and beat them well until blended.
Pour the cheesecake mixture on top of the cooled crust.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, loosen the edges by running a knife around the sides of the pan.
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Spread the fig and olive tapenade on top of the cheesecake before serving.
