Hungarian Cheesecake🇭🇺.

🥣 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the crust:
    • Mix crushed cookies with melted butter and sugar.
    • Press into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
    • Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
  3. Make the filling:
    • In a bowl, combine túró, sugar, egg yolks, sour cream, lemon zest, vanilla, and semolina or flour. Mix until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture.
  4. Assemble & Bake:
    • Pour the filling over the chilled crust.
    • Bake for 45–50 minutes until the top is set and just golden.
  5. Cool:
    • Let it cool in the oven with the door ajar to prevent cracking.
    • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  6. Serve:
    • Dust with powdered sugar or top with sour cherry preserves for an authentic touch.

Let me know if you’d like a no-bake version or one with a fruit swirl topping (like sour cherry or apricot)!
