Essendo indiano in Germania e vivendo qui da 5 anni, devo dire che… penso di essere ufficialmente ossessionato dalla cheesecake tedesca. Qualche altra torta tradizionale che vuoi farmi provare?

YES TRUE 💖💖💖
What isn’t better about Germany than India
It’s probably the ready access to quark in germany.
No. German ‘cheesecake’ does not taste better. NY cheesecake for life.
I only love mandarin schmand from Busch
Traditional German Cheese Cake use “Quark”, a diary product easy to get in Germany and a little bit diffrent as “Topfen” in Austria but not very popular somewhere else.
Can u suggest any place?
Maybe it’s the [quark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_(dairy_product))? It’s commonly used in central and eastern European cuisine, but rare in other places.
Try “Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte” or “Bienenstich”
It’s because it is made of “Quark”, a soft cheese variant that does not exist outside of the German-speaking countries, and parts of Eastern Europe. Quark is not as sour as the soft cheese usually used in other parts of the world, and more creamy.
Quark. Magic ingredient.
I like strawberry cake, aka Erdbeerkuchen
Because we managed to engineer everything out of a cow that is humanly possible and we use different creations for different things.
We often don’t use cream cheese to make cheesecake, we use Quark. We also make it less sweet. The bottom of a german cheese cake is often non-existent or – according to Google translate – shortcrust pasty (as opposed to cookie crumbles with butter).
To me, an american cheesecake tastes like sweetened cream cheese that would be a great bread spread. German cheese cake tastes nothing like cream cheese usually.
Because we traditionally use Quark instead of cream cheese, which is a different product. Though today many people also use american cheese cake recipes, which use cream cheese. The one in the pic looks more like american.
Also, the dough is usually different. Germany traditionally uses a normal cake dough, americans something more like cookie crumble dough.
Thirdly, our recipe is usually very simple. Mostly sugar and Quark. No lemon or other additional favors.
And finally, if you like cheese cake, you might enjoy an other version: Zupfkuchen. Very common and also very nice. Same principle, but with added chocolate dough.
Magerquark
German cheese cake is an actually baked cake with several ingredients, with quark being the biggest, and not cream cheese mixed with sugar on top of ready made cookie crumbs, which is the definition of cheese cake in many other countries.
What you should try if you haven’t already: Franzbrötchen, Bienenstich and Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte
It’s made with Quark, not cream cheese
You should try Zupfkuchen next. It’s also is a Quark based cake, like cheesecake but with chocolate.
Better? What is better? Whatever you think is better. That’s what is better. Unless of course I think it’s not better. Then it’s not better.
because German cheese cake is not “cheese cake”
Bienenstich, Frankfurter Kranz, Donauwelle, gedeckter Apfelkuchen are my other German cake favorites.
Search for a Konditorei near you – usually they have the widest selection of cakes.
You can make your own, its really simple, just buy a Dr. Oetker Mischung and if you want to have real fun, you make every part yourself on a second try, then you know how its done 🙂
Try out “Käse Sahnetorte” next
Because it is not a Cheesecake, it is Käsekuchen 🙂 It is another universe. Made not of cream cheese, but Quark. There are many sorts of Käsekuchen, but they are all great. If you go to Austria, you will find even more. But it is called there Topfenkuchen. My favorite one is with Mohn.
Hav you tried Stefans Käsekuchen?
It’s not because of the cheese, that much I can tell
Bienenstich, best cake to ever exist
Did you try the San Sebastian cheesecake as well? I highly recommend it
Dunno what kind of cheesecake is this?
They have mastered this and bread
Try Streuselkuchen with Apple, blueberry or Cherry, Sacher also good. Warm Apfelstrudel wot vanilla sauce is great but for me without raisin.
