Biezpienmaize, is Latvian Cheesecake. It is sold everywhere from tiny shops, to local supermarkets. Usually it would contain raisins and would be served cut in rectangles. You get it in various forms and shapes. It is literally one of my favourite cakes in the world. I remember having it in school when I was little, as it was a great snack and tasted so good. This is a home made version and I had loads of requests about making more Latvian Traditional Dishes.
Essentially biezpienmaize is a baked cheesecake, however, the dough for the base and cottage cheese for the topping gives it more homely and down to earth feel. This recipe has been tested several times, using various types of bases and toppings. For the best results, use the driest and smallest grain cottage cheese you can find, make sure its dry cottage cheese and not wet, as it will not work. (ricotta just does not taste right, trust me, I tried).
