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".
