Greixonera de brossat

Greixonera de brossat is a traditional type of cheesecake originating from Mallorca. It's made with sugar, eggs, cinnamon, lemon zest, and brossat (also known as requesón) – fresh cottage cheese made from cow's milk, although ricotta is also a good substitute.

The ingredients are blended until creamy, then poured into a baking dish and baked until firm. Greixonera de brossat is served chilled, ideally dusted with confectioners' sugar and cinnamon. The word greixonera refers to the clay baking dish in which the dessert is prepared.

This cheesecake was traditionally made for Easter, but today it can be found in the Balearic Islands throughout the year.
