Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Cheesecake Krakow?
"Cheesecake Krakow" (or Sernik Krakowski) is a traditional Polish baked cheesecake. Its signature feature is its filling, which is made from a special dry curd cheese (quark or 'twaróg'), giving it a texture that is lighter and more structured than a creamy New York-style cheesecake.

How is it different from a New York cheesecake?
The main difference is the filling and the base. Our Cheesecake Krakow uses a light, fine-curd cheese and sits on a tender pastry base. A New York cheesecake typically uses a heavy, rich cream cheese filling on a crushed biscuit base.

How should I store this cheesecake?
To maintain its perfect texture, this cheesecake must be kept refrigerated. For the best flavour, we recommend taking it out of the fridge about 20-30 minutes before serving.
