What is Quark and what does it taste like?<\/h2>\n

For those of you who have not heard of quark, its . Quark is a German dairy product that tastes mild and creamy and is often likened to products like yogurt and cottage cheese.  It is mild, and neither sweet nor sour,  a bit like cottage cheese, but with the texture of a thick, Greek yogurt You can buy it at many grocery stores or make your own.<\/a><\/p>\n

On to the next typical German ingredient – Egg Liqueur! <\/a><\/p>\n

I prefer to make the egg liqueur for this dessert myself using this recipe<\/a> but one can also buy it! German egg liqueur can be purchased in most liquor stores – you find it near the cream liqueurs and it\u2019s often called advocaat which is the Dutch name for it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"layered<\/p>\n

I like to serve this layered mascarpone quark dessert with fresh blueberries, but raspberries or strawberries also go great here!<\/span><\/p>\n

Simple individual yogurt parfaits like this are also always a great way to use any leftover cookies like Amarettini. Super tasty and damn pretty to look at! <\/span><\/p>\n

\"mascarpone<\/p>\n

Low calorie \/ lighter version:<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you want to reduce the amount of calories, you have several options! Instead of mascarpone, you can simply mix 125 g low-fat quark and 125 g cream cheese. Then add some carbonated mineral water when whipping, but only very little (best to start with a tablespoon). That makes the cream more fluffy.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can use a liquid sweetener of your choice, like stevia, erythritol, or monk’s fruit. <\/span><\/p>\n
