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, though there are some differences between ostkaka from Hälsingland resembling halloumi in texture, and the soft-grained ostkaka from Småland.
The dish is usually eaten lukewarm with a jam or cordial sauce, typically cloudberry, cherries, raspberry, or strawberry, though lingonberry is not uncommon; as well as fruits, cream or, more rarely, ice cream.
Despite the similarity in literal translation, ostkaka should not be confused with cheesecake. Swedes typically call the latter by its English name, sometimes making it "American cheesecake", to avoid confusion. Though even then, Scandinavian restaurant menus sometimes confuse the two.
