Ingredients
- 250 ml whipping cream 1 cup
- 1 1/4 cup natural yogurt or Greek yogurt without sugar / 300 g
- 1 cup mascarpone / 250 g
- 2 cups quark 500 g
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar or some stevia
- 1 1 /2 cup homemade egg liqueur or storebought advocaat
Instructions
-
Whip the cream into soft peaks. This works best when the cream is still really cold. Don't overdo it so that your cream doesn't turn into butter on you! Whisk the quark, yogurt, lemon juice, and mascarpone well along with the sugar or sweetener, it is best to use a hand mixer so that the sugar dissolves really well. Now carefully fold in the whipped cream using a handheld whisk. Chill, or layer immediately.
-
For assemly, layer egg liqueur and the quark mixture alternately in dessert glasses (looks nicest in a glass bowl or in individual dessert glasses). You can also sprinkle with grated chocolate or blueberries and edible flowes.
Recipe Notes
Make ahead instructions:
Can be prepared the evening before and then stored in the refrigerator.
If want to add a crunchy element to this you also add a layer of crushed cookies like amaretti, they will be nice and soft by the time you serve.
Tips:
- Sometimes I like to add a few drops vanilla to my quark cream!
- Low-calorie version: Skip Mascarpone and use half a cup each of quark and cream cheese - then add some carbonated water when whipping, but only very little (best to dose with a tablespoon).
