Hi Jane,

We have an older thread on what to make with Quark that should give you some ideas. To keep all the suggestions together, I have merged your thread with it.

This is one of my favourite snacks.
I make up a batch and keep it in the fridge and have a teaspoon or two when I need a chocolatey hit

Ingredients

250g Quark
30g chocolate powder (I normally use Tescos cocoa powder)
50g Peanut Butter (Whole Earth Crunchy)
Raw peanuts / any raw nuts
Splash of milk


Directions

1. 250g of Quark into a bowl
   
2. Mix in chocolate powder to taste (30g ish)
   
3. Mix in peanut butter (hard work but worth it)
   
4. Add a small amount of milk to get desired consistency
   
5. Add nuts

Snickers heaven!

I use Quark (half a tub) mixed with two of the Aldi low cal hot chocolate mix (40 cals each) and sometimes a little natural yogurt just to moisten it. It makes a very acceptable chocolate mousse/dessert type thing if you are desperate for a choc fix that is not too fattening.

I am planning to go one step further and have a go at making chocolate ice lollies with it too. I do not like it au naturelle though. Too tart for me. I also dislike fromage frais on its own and will only use it mixed in with something, or sweetened.

Use it to make a low fat fruit flan. Typically German would be plum.

Pastry recipe:

125g quark
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons netural oil (e.g. sunflower)
40 g sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
150g SR flour

Mix the ingredients above into a dough and put in a 24 cm round tin.

Put sliced plums (or other fruit of your choice) on the dough.

Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 30 - 40 mins. Sprinkle with 2 tsp granulated sugar when it comes out of the oven.

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?

Yes you can freeze quark and also make your own very easy. Just mix cultured butter milk with normal shop bought milk, leave it in a warm place undisturbed for 2 days, then warm it to 90 F or 32 C, now the sour milk will have separated into curd and whey. Strain the whey through a if possible sterile (just boil it in clear water for a minute or so) muslin cloth for about two hours and voila you have just make your own quark.

When we visited a friend in Germany she whisked some bottled cherries into some quark - It was delish.

Chris,

can I use low fat cottage cheese instead of quark? I have never heard of that cheese before & don't have any idea where I will find it..Thank you.

baked cheesecake



4oz quark
4oz ricotta
3 med eggs, beaten
1oz caster sugar
8oz blueberries OR raspberries OR strawberries
whatever base you normally use in an 8in tin - pref loose bottom

Preheat oven to 180C - sorry don't know F equiv.
Beat cheeses together, stir in eggs and sugar, fold in fruit.
Pour into tin and bake for 35 mins.
Turn off oven but don't take out tin for 20 mins.
Then serve or leave till cold and chill in fridge until req'd.

Lacy - it depends where you shop. My tesco did it for a while and have stopped selling it now. Asda in my area still sell it. It's normally where the cottage cheese/soft cheese is in the fridge. I have no idea if you can substitute cottage cheese in the recipe but I suppose you could try it and see it it works. It's more of a soft cheese/philedelphia consistency and needs things added to it to make it palatable as its yukky on its own.

I prefer it as a sweet. Mix with a couple of teaspoons of lemon curd, mix in berries. For a bit of crunch I put it on top of a meringue nest. Can't taste the cheese flavour.

My German nan often makes a quick simple dessert with quark, it just involves whisking the quark with milk and sugar and a small amount of vanilla sugar/ essence if you have any. It will need tasting as you go until you deem it sweet enough to be a dessert. Then mix in some chopped bananas. Very yummy!
