Kospa (Kazakh Milk Sweet)

Try making this traditional Kazakh treat! Haven't tried kospa yet? You've been missing out! It tastes a bit like cheesecake — a wonderful treat with tea for grown-ups and kids alike. My child absolutely loves this wholesome sweet. I also make it sometimes when friends come over; I like to surprise people. I recommend it to everyone! This amount of milk yields about 1.3 kg of kospa.

  • Bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Stirring, pour the kefir into the boiling milk in a thin stream and continue boiling over moderate heat until it cooks down to a thick, porridge-like consistency. Keep stirring, and don't forget — the goal is to evaporate off the milk. It takes quite a while, but the result is worth it. Stir the melted butter and sugar evenly into the cooled milk mixture. Grease your setting molds with olive oil, spoon the kospa into each one, and smooth the tops. Chill in a cold spot for 5–6 hours to set. The kospa is ready — enjoy!
