Ingredients
- 500g quark cheese
- 200g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 200g graham cracker crumbs
- 500g mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 50g powdered sugar
- 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the quark cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- Pour the quark cheese mixture over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the berry compote by combining the mixed berries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve the quark cheesecake with the berry compote on top. Enjoy!
