Glad you find the recipe works well! Indeed, I have seen it with cream and lingonberry jam (always a favorite) though fresh fruit is great when in season, too.

It is a very good recipe, it is not wrong to but toppings on the cake but you would usually just eat it with whipped cream and lingonsylt

I was raised in Sweden

Apologies, just updated - almond flour and ground almonds refer to the same thing here, it's the blanched (non-meal) form you want here to keep the color plainer. Hope it works out well and you all enjoy!

I’m wondering about the almond flour. It doesn’t say anywhere in the directions where you’re using this, unless I missed it. Are you mixing it in with the ground almonds?

Thank you for your help and I’m really anxious to try this! Hope you respond quickly as we are making it tonight.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the smooth version, and yes I can see if the cheese is not as well blended, the texture may not suit everyone.

I've made this twice now! The first time was just ok. The cottage cheese definitely didn't get well blended, so the texture in the cooked cheesecake was a little funky. The second time, I blended the cottage cheese, milk and cream in a blender to make it all smooth. This made it taste MUCH better! I also added a little bit of cardamom.

You can do everything in the blender, I'd say you don't want lumps (though a few will probably be fine), but at the same time don't mix so much you get lots of air in there. Hope you enjoy!

With. Everything else should that be mixed in my hand ? Do I want the lumps in the cake?

Hi, I have never tried it that way, and not sure that the cheesecake mixture would keep well uncooked, but you can certainly bake it the day before then have it cold/room temperature the next day. I think it would also work to gently warm it the next day, if you prefer it warm - I'd certainly suggest this over leaving the mixture uncooked a day.

Hi Christina, 1/4 cup and 4tbsp are the same thing, so it's one or the other. I just include both as not all countries use cups but tbsp are more familiar. Hope you give it a go and enjoy!

Looks delicious!

Thanks Petra, I can imagine cloudberry jam would be delicious with it - sadly not something we get here. And thanks on the photos - strawberries are pretty photogenic, I think!

Thanks much for posting on Fiesta Friday this week!

Have bookmarked it for trying it out sometime. The gluten-free ostkaka looks delicious, Caroline.

Hi, you can use regular wheat flour instead. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks I agree it's quite different but it's definitely tasty and you do get the slight almond flavor coming through.
