Gloria at Canela Kitchen posted this delicious looking dessert recently and
I knew I wanted to try it with all the blueberries that are plentiful right now.
And I'd never heard of a German Kuchen before, much less tasted one.
It looks like cheesecake but tastes more like a firm custard with a cookie crust. Very easy to make and so pretty, too!
And did you notice the lovely plate? Believe it or not, it was discarded to the
trash at an auction. Of course, I had to bring it home with me! :)
Here it is, written in US equivalents ~
Blueberry Kuchen
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup plain yogurt
5 T soft butter
1/2 c sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 c flour
1 t baking powder
3 T milk
8 oz. fresh blueberries
Whisk condensed milk and yogurt together and chill.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350.
Cream butter and sugar in mixer. Add egg.
Then add flour and baking powder, alternating with the milk.
Press this dough into a greased 9" spring form pan,
covering the bottom and up the sides.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Layer fresh blueberries over baked crust and pour the
condensed milk/yogurt filling over the blueberries.
Return to oven and bake 25 minutes or until firm and no
longer sticky to touch. Mine took 45 minutes, so be prepared
to watch and adjust the time if needed.
Cool and then chill in refrigerator.
Yum. Thank you, Gloria!

I'm sure you will love it...very different than anything I've had before. Light and delicious!
DeleteOh, my! What an amazing looking dessert! I wish I could have a taste. And plate is lovely...what a find.
ReplyDeleteSee why I had to make it when I saw Gloria's? haha...it's so pretty!
DeleteLucky you always finding a beautiful treasure - the plate.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it does look delicious as well as easy to make and oh so worth it.
Sorry I haven't been on. I've been sick for a bit.
ugh...feel better!
Deleteyes...easy to make and so pretty!
Deb , hope you feel better soon!
Deleteaaah Betsy your look more delicious than mine LOL
ReplyDeleteLook delicious and Im happy you like it!
Of course I love the plate, you know is perfect for the kuchen:)
x
I thought yours was prettier! My blueberries sunk! lol! Your blueberries behaved and stayed where they were put! hahaha!
DeleteNot really your loo delicious and in this plate heavenly!:) you know how I love old china:)
DeleteBeautiful new header too Betsy!
I knew you would love the plate! :)
DeleteLook perfect:) LOL
DeleteLooks and sounds yummy! I can't believe they threw that plate out. It's beautiful~
ReplyDeleteI know! I've used it several times now and I think it's lovely!
DeleteIt said "blueberry" so I had to look. Sounds very yummy, but you are right, it looks more like cheesecake to me than kuchen. I need to find some wonderful gluten-free blueberry recipes. I have already thrown them into pancakes and fruit salad. Now I need to find a gluten-free cobbler or coffee cake.
ReplyDeleteNice little plate. I think working at an auction would be fun. I'd probably be a sucker for old, discarded family photos.
I'm sure you could find some gluten free recipes...there are cooking blogs just for gluten free...I've seen several!
DeleteI have only brought home one discarded family photo and I just love it. It's hanging in the hallway. I feel like I need to save things from the garbage truck! haha...It's my calling! lol...
Martha instead of using plain flour you might use rice flour to the dough, I use to bake too:)
DeleteI have several good gluten free recipes, just need to look at them again. Gloria, I wish it were as simple as just switching one flour for another.
DeleteThats OK Martha only I sadi because I have a friend of mine that have to eat gluten free too,x
DeleteI think this recipe would be easy to change to gluten free...it would only be the crust, right? and if you had a crust recipe...even for gluten free pie crust, it would work fine, don't you think, Gloria? It would still be delicious!
DeleteCrunched up gluten free cookies make good crusts.
Deletethat's a good idea...and this crust reminded me of a sugar cookie!
DeleteYes Betsy is a simple crust, the cream and bluberries I think make the kuchen delicious.
Deleteyes...so true. I think the main difference between the german and the american here is that we would make a graham cracker or pastry crust and this with the egg made it like a cookie!
DeleteAnd I liked how neat and clean it cut into slices! It served up so nice!
Oh dear
ReplyDeleteInspired by she who has been buried by my little rhyming rear
That just can't be
Although I do like me a blue berry
well Im buried but not death LOL
Deletehaha and at least there is no poo
DeleteThat got buried with you
Yes Thanks God LOL
DeleteI'm guessng this would be too soft and squishy for you.
Deletebut you could eat the berries so blue!
Yeah good guess
DeleteAnd they berries I will chow down on though I confess
nice...glad you tried one of glorias recipes...that is awesome...looks like it turned out good to me....nice on the plate too that is way cool...
ReplyDeleteI've made her lemon pie, too, which was scrumptious!
DeleteThis does look good. Nice and light for summertime.
ReplyDeletelooks and sounds really good,
ReplyDeleteit was good...and just different enough to be a nice change!
DeleteI make a Peach Kuchen Betsy, but I like the look of blueberries much better!
ReplyDeleteMillie xx
I bet peach would be delicious!
DeleteOK... I can't even get past the plate! That is one beautiful plate!
ReplyDeleteNow for the kuchen, well I need to taste it, NOW!
Isn't it? I love the color on the handles...like blackberries when they are baked. :)
DeleteI had never tasted kuchen before...really nice!
Oh that surely is a nice summer dessert. And you know I would love that lacy plate. Once in a while I find a pretty one like that at the Thrift Store. I'm in the mood for scones too...and with all the blueberries...maybe I should make both.
ReplyDeletescones sound wonderful! And do you know I've never made them? But my buttermilk biscuits look so similar to the recipes that I think they probably are more like scones than biscuits. haha. If you bake, make sure and show us!
DeleteOh Yum! If it has blueberries and looks like cheesecake and is similar to custard it can't help but be delicious! Love the plate too!
ReplyDeleteJust noticed the Beautiful butterfly in your header. Gorgeous!
DeleteI'm sure you'd like it. I don't think I have any other German recipes!
Deletethanks about the header...that butterfly has been around for a few weeks now...so lovely!
Send me a piece!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Linda :o)
hahaha...ok...over night air on ice. :) Just arrive just fine.
DeleteLove the trash you picked up! I am going to try this tom. night I think. I have yogurt but no plain. Have sour cream. I got blueberries today when I got groceries. TFS!
ReplyDeleteI actually used vanilla yogurt!
DeleteYez Betsy vanilla yogurt isperfect too!
DeleteYou know...lemon would be good, too!
DeleteConfession: I've never made a kuchen. Never even had one! This look so delicious I will have to change that immediately! thank you xo
ReplyDeleteWell, I hadn't either! But I'm glad I did....love to try new things!
DeleteThat does look so good and I really do like blueberries. My hubby eats lunch at a German Deli and he sometimes brings home little spice packages that have all the directions written in German and so I just have to guess what to do with it. If I am lucky it will sometimes have pictures and that does help a lot. For Christmas my hubby orders Stollen and we freeze it to have for a few months after. I will have to see if they have Kuchen too, but hopefully I will have tried this recipe before then. It does look easy.
ReplyDeleteAnd that plate is gorgeous, such a treasure.
God bless.
Stollen is my favorite treat for Christmas mrsupole; love it!:)
DeleteIt is really good for breakfast too! Just about six months to go and then it will be Christmas again.
DeleteGod bless.
Oh, stollen is yummy...and so beautiful, too! It's perfect for Christmas!
DeleteHi! I cant wait for Christmas lol
Deletereally are 4 months we are in july; and in november we are seeing christmas recipes lol!!xxxxx
I've gained another 5lbs just by imagining that if they taste anywhere as good as they look in your photos... well you know the rest. :)
ReplyDeletecyber desserts have no calories! Didn't you know? :)
DeleteLooks scrumptious, Betsy.
ReplyDeletethank you, Martin...which you could join me for tea!

ReplyDeleteLovely plate, lovely food - and, as ever, lovely Betsy.
ReplyDeleteyou always know exactly what to say, dear alan :)
DeleteI noticed the plate right off. wow. what a find!
ReplyDeleteI know! I will ALWAYS be amazed. ha,
DeleteMMMmmm..this sounds really good! I made a blueberry claufouti a couple weeks ago that was very much like this. I love blueberry season!
ReplyDeleteI just took this out of the oven! I am still going strong on the diet but I know the guys will like it.
ReplyDeleteHey, great! After it's chilled all night, it will be delish!
DeleteFood colour co-ordinated to your plates now! Classy!
ReplyDeleteOh, if only I wasn't watching my sugar intake. Looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteI've never made kuchen either. It looks similar to a clafoutis- love the idea of a blueberry version. And score on the plate! I can't believe someone threw it out....
