Lviv cheese curd cake in a multicooker
Description
Baking is prepared simply and quickly. Lviv cheesecake can be made not only with lemon zest. If desired, add raisins, dried apricots or dried cherries. If you want to simplify the process, instead of making a glaze you can melt dark chocolate in a bain‑marie and add a little milk to it. Drizzle the cheesecake with the liquid chocolate. Lviv cheesecake is usually served chilled. It is advisable that after cooking the cheesecake rests for 3 hours and becomes a bit firmer. It can be served with tea or coffee.
