Yes, that is true, I simplified. I was referring to it as the original because it is where the American recipe originated.
Why is or called cheese cake when it doesn’t contain dairy or dairy alternatives? It sounds really interesting. I might give it a try. I indeed have never heard of any Scandinavian cheese cake approaches.
Right so the original Småland cheesecake does contain cheese. The courgette version modeled after it tastes similar because the main flavour isn’t from the cheese, but rather the almonds and the bitter almond extract.
Growing up here, I associate bitter almond flavour with cheese cake. The Dr. Pepper soft drink also tastes of bitter almonds to me, so in my head it’s basically cheese cake flavoured soft drink.
