Help! What can I make with Quark???

ET03

I use this cheese sometimes in cooking, but recipes only often need half the tub,
anyone got any ideas what I could do with the rest or can i freeze it?

Dips! I love this stuff and make my own dips from it all the time, I do a tuna one where I just whizz a tub of this, a tin of tuna, half a carton of sour cream, some garlic and fresh herbs all together in the blender and contentedly park myself in front of the telly with a plate of julienned carrots

I use mine for curried quorn sandwiches - not sure whether you fancy that but with some salad it is quite tasty. You could use some chikdren pieces instead. I get a handful of quorn and put in 1 tablespoon of quark and then a teaspoon of curry powder.

I re-read this and it looks like 10oz sugar - it's 1oz sugar. It's quite sweet from the fruit.
Apologies if I confused anyone

If you just cream it with sugar it makes a lovely topping for fresh or tinned fruit. Slimming world recipes use it a lot as it is fat free.

Actually, I've just found any recipe I fancied and substituted for whatever it used. There's a great Lemon Cheesecake recipe on the BBC site somewhere. That was gorgeous but I also used crumbled ginger biscuits/wholemeal digestives as the base. Slurp...
