Polish baked cheesecake made from twaróg (curd cheese), eggs and sugar, on a shortcrust base, finished with vanilla, raisins and a lattice of pastry strips on top.
Sernik is the Polish baked cheesecake tradition, distinct from the German Käsekuchen by its use of twaróg curd cheese rather than quark and its eggier, denser texture. The Warsaw version typically uses raisins and vanilla; the Cracow version adds lemon zest. Cukiernia Wedel, Cafe Bristol and A. Blikle bake the canonical Warsaw versions. Sernik has been on Polish tables since the 16th century when twaróg became a household staple.
