I was delighted to find a new blog recently. It’s called Semiswede – Sort of about Sweden, sort of not! It’s written by Maia, an American living in Sweden. I had a ball reading all the posts. There was one about Swedish cheesecake that really intrigued me. Here’s what her beautiful photo looks like.
Of course, I had to try it! So yesterday, I bought the ingredients—mostly eggs, milk and cottage cheese—and made one!
It’s very much like a custard, but the cottage cheese gives it a unique texture and chewiness. As I was rinsing the strawberries, I realized that the adorable little colander I was using was a Swedish purchase!
It was still pretty warm when I cut into it, but it had set up nicely. I think it should be spooned out into a bowl (now that I looked at Maia’s photo again) but I cut wedges. Bob agreed that it was very tasty.
I’ll definitely make this again!
