Today I will show you guys how to make a simple, but incredibly original German Cheesecake. Although there are a lot of versions of cheesecakes, the oldest cheesecake recipe is from the Greeks, until the Romans took the recipe. However, the oldest modern recipe comes from Le Viandier a French cookbook from the 14th century.
The oldest German version was found in the cookbook of Anna Wecker from 1598, and in her recipe, she used quark, eggs, sugar, and butter, which is not that different from the recipe I used.
I personally, was used to preparing the American version, which has cream cheese instead of quark and condensed milk instead of sugar, with a topping of guava marmalade.
But since my husband is very very German, well that version was not an option, therefore after experimenting a little bit, I found the perfect and easy recipe for this typical German cheesecake.
In conclusion, I think my husband loves me a little bit more since I use this recipe.
