    Luxembourg cheese cake called keikuch is more like a curd pie than a cheese cake.  Curd pies are popular in Europe and I think the result of this dessert depends on the type of cheese you use.  Typical American cottage cheese is a bit runny and not sour like European curd cheese.  The pie was baked and then put in the refrigerator to set, it was served at room temperature and topped with some blueberries straight from the International Cuisine Garden.   The cheese filling is made with egg yolk so sometimes people whip up the whites and serve as a meringue.  Enjoy!
