Help! What can I make with Quark???

Gers

It's commonly eaten in Germany for breakfast with some jam or fruit on it - yummy, just like yoghurt!

Really it says for use in cooking and says nothing about eating raw. I did try it raw with some chocolate powder mixed in and to be truthful it was vile.

I could use it instead of yoghurt in smoothie.

Quark is curd cheese! (That what it means) and it is lovely on its own, I ate it most days when I lived in Germany.

Reckon you must have better stuff then this. It has a very tangy taste.

And actually made me feel sick after eating it.

sounds like yours could have been on the turn.
Quark is fab on ryvita or dark rye type breads citrus fruit on top is good too.

Great for making low fat cheese cakes too

Members use this a lot in Slimming World. If you crush up a couple of garlic cloves in it and then mix it in really well. Get a chicken breast fillet and slice it sideway to may a pock and then stuck the mixture in. You can then roll it in some breadcrumbs and put it in the oven for about 20 minutes they make gorgeous chicken kievs. I am on yourside with eating as it is - yukkk

Raw??? It doesn't need cooking. I'd imagine chocolate wouldn't go very well with it. Try some of the other suggestions given,

I think the stuff is vile but i last used it whilst making spinach and ricotta lasagne. I subsituted 1/2 ricotta with quark for low fatness.

My SW leader says that quark can be made either sweet or savoury - depending on what you add to it. I've done both (cheesecake and pasta sauce). They tasted ok - but on it's own it's a definate NO NO!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a baked cheesecake recipe which uses quark, or indeed suggest anything I can do with two large (250g) tubs of Quark, which I bought because it was Slimming World Free food, and which I have now found out tastes rank on its own! The use by date is 18th November so I will have to make something today. I also have a carton of Buttermilk which was out of date yesterday but I think it will be okay if I use it today, and a carton of sour cream. Any suggestions gratefully received. I may make a cheesecake and then freeze it for Christmas if I can find a recipe which uses what I have. I also have no digestive biscuits so will need to make a cake base.
