Title: Recipe review - Polish Cheesecake MWOC pge 260
Post by: judydawn on March 02, 2011, 07:50:32 am

Finally was able to get almost all of the ingredients for this one.  It is huge!  Anyone want to come for afternoon tea?
Firstly as a recipe goes, it is easily made.  If you roll the pastry out between 2 pieces of baking paper (I used reusable non-stick liners) it makes it so much easier to transfer to the baking dish.  I used a pyrex dish roughly the size stated in the recipe. I did alter the method of beating the whites though - left the MC out and pressed the 37^o button. Couldn't find those European packs of custard powder so used 20g ordinary custard powder & a tspn vanilla extract as Tenina advised in another thread.
Taste-wise - it isn't exactly what I like in a cheese-cake but then you would expect that with a European recipe.  Nowhere near as sweet as ours but having said that, the taste grows on you too. It is expensive to make, the Quark was $16.99 a kg and you need a lot of people to help you eat it.  Guess you could halve the recipe. Hard to score it because I think this type of dessert is a personal taste, some will like it and some won't.  Hope my visitors are not in the latter category on Friday.

Quark is a soft cheese - becoming more widely available here in Australia now... used a lot in the European countries I assume as a lot of the international recipes use it  ;)

I'm on my way. Will join CC as she flies over. Judy, all food on that plate looks beautiful. I adore Old English Roses.
I'd like to try this recipe but will wait until I have lots of guests.
