Ostkaka, ("ost" meaning "cheese" and "kaka" meaning "cake" in Swedish) also known as Swedish cheesecake or Swedish curd cake, is a Swedish dessert that has its roots in two different parts of Sweden, Hälsingland and Småland (there are also some differences between ostkaka from Hälsingland and ostkaka from Småland). The dish has a rather firm consistency and subtle, creamy taste with a hint of almonds. It is usually eaten warm or lukewarm with different jams, typically Cloudberry though Lingonberry is often used, as well as fruits, whipped cream or ice cream. Despite the similarity in literal translation, ostkaka should not be confused with cheesecake which is a layered cake.
