Ostkaka - Cheesecake  
"Ostkaka", cheesecake, is a traditional dish from the province  
of Småland in southern Sweden. Swedes normally do not  
prepare the dish themselves but buy it ready-made. However,  
"ostkaka" is not easily available outside Sweden; hence we  
have included a recipe (which should serve 15-20 persons as a  
dessert) for those who would like to try.  
Proceed as follows:  
Ingredients:  
o
1
. Heat the milk to 37 C. Add the all-purpose flour and  
the rennet. Stir until the mixture thickens.

12 l milk  
0.3 l all-purpose  
flour  
1 tablespoon rennet  
1 l cream  
6 eggs  
250 g granulated  
sugar  
200 g almonds  
10 pieces bitter  
almonds  
2. Let it stand until it separates into cheese and whey. Stir  
a few times so that the cheese separates from the whey.  
3. Strain the mixture and make certain virtually all of the  
whey is removed.  
4. Stir cream, granulated sugar, eggs and finely chopped  
almonds and bitter almonds into the "cheese".
