Swedish cheesecake with strawberries (ostkaka)

A relatively easy, baked cheesecake that's a bit less sweet than it's American cousin but just as delicious. Gluten free in this version too.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F/175C and lightly grease an 8 in (20cm) round cake tin (you can use a ceramic dish as well).
  2. Blend together the eggs and sugar either in a food processor or blender (you can also whisk by hand but try to avoid having too many lumps in final mixture). Add the almond flour/ground almonds, rice flour, half and half (or milk and cream) and cottage cheese and mix. Pour the mixture into your tin/dish and bake for around 1 hour until it rises up and is lightly browned on top.
  3. As the cheesecake is almost finished baking, slice the strawberries and place in a bowl with the sugar and a few grinds of black pepper (if using - it is nice in there). Toss them gently and leave to macerate.
  4. When the cheesecake is cooked enough, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  5. Serve warm or lukewarm topped with the strawberries (you can put the strawberries on top a little before serving and some of the juice will sink in which is really tasty).
