Ostkaka (Swedish Cheesecake) image

This is a Swedish (Scandinavian) dessert that is traditionally served during the holidays, specifically at Christmas. But you can eat it whenever if you like, because it is just that good. Getting the rennet may be a bit difficult, but can be an adventure to acquire. If you're traditional serve with lingonberries. If you're not, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries work just the same. You can even make a berry sauce to drip over it too and/or top it with whipped cream. You can also add a graham cracker crust to the bottom.

Time 2h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cube raw milk
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1/2 rennet tablet
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon butter
5 large eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Mix 1 cup of cold milk with 3/4 cup of flour and stir to make a soft paste. Set it aside.
  • Dissolve the 1/2 tablet of rennet in water. Set it aside.
  • Heat the rest of the gallon of milk to lukewarm, 98 to 102 degrees F (36 to 39 degrees C). Remove from heat. Add the soft paste mixture and stir in the dissolved rennet. Stir often until milk begins to set; cover and let stand until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Break up the milk mixture and remove the whey. Do not make the curd too dry and treat with gentle hands so as not to break up the curds too much.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon butter.
  • Mix together eggs, sugar, and whipping cream. Add this cream mixture to the strained curd and mix. Pour combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and softly spread it out so that the top of the dessert is flat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue to cook until set and browned on top, about 30 minutes more. Let cool before serving and refrigerate when stored.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste, but it was still very good. I would probably try a different recipe next time.
