About Syrnyk

Syrnyk, commonly known as "Ukrainian cheesecake," is a traditional dessert originating in Eastern European cuisine. Made primarily from farmer’s cheese or cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and sometimes a touch of flour or semolina, Syrnyk achieves a dense yet creamy texture. Flavorings like vanilla, citrus zest, or dried fruits such as raisins are often added for sweetness and depth. This baked cheesecake is lighter than its Western counterparts, as it typically uses less fat and relies on the natural richness of the cheese. Syrnyk is a source of protein and calcium, beneficial for bone health. However, it can be high in sugar and carbohydrates, depending on the recipe. Enjoyed solo or topped with jam, sour cream, or fresh fruit, it embodies a balance of indulgence and simplicity, making it a cherished treat in Ukrainian households.
