Amalie’s Kasekuchen


This recipe has been sitting untried for over a year.  My friend Doris always makes very good recipes so I knew this would be good.  I finally had some Quark (made using buttermilk in my instant pot on the yogurt setting) and wanted to try a recipe using it.  This did not disappoint.  I used my Quark instead of the farmers cheese in the recipe…as I assume that is what it is….and in the filling I substituted birds custard powder for the cornstarch……and also substituted some mango juice for the lemon juice.  As expected….a very nice recipe.  The crust with no addition of butter sort of threw me…..but, it worked out great.

Amalie’s Cheesecake

Crust for bottom of cake:

1 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

2 Tbsp milk

Blend and spread onto greased lined springform pan…I used a 26 cm as that’s what I had.


Filling:

16 oz bakers cheese (2 pkg 250g cream cheese)

6 egg yolks (beat six egg whites until stiff and set aside)

3/4 cup sugar

2 Tbsp cornstarch

2 tsp vanilla

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Blend all filling ingredients (except the egg whites) until smooth.  Gently fold in the egg whites.  Pour on top of the crust. Bake at 300F for 65 minutes.  Make sure that the center is still.
