Prepare a shortcrust and let rest in the refridgerator for 30 min. Roll out the dough on flour dusted working space. It should be slightly larger then the baking pan. Put on the bottom of the pan and form a high rim





Filling:


2 lbs quark


5 eggs - separated


2 tbsp flour


3-6 tbsp milk (depending on the consistence of the quark)


10-12 tbsp sugar


dash of lemon juice

Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy. Add the quark, lemon juice, flour and milk. Mix well. Whisk the egg whites stiff and fold in carefully.


Pour the quark mix on the shortcrust. Bake for 1 - 1,5 hours at 160C / 320F. Turn off the heat, open the oven door and let it sit in the oven for 5 min. Take it out let the cake rest for a short while outside the oven and then overturn to a wire rack.

Quark is a versatile, lowfat redux of buttermilk, which can be used





instead of sour cream on potatoes,


instead of cream cheese in cheesecake and


instead of heavy cream in deserts involving sugared fruits or bananas


and more
I'm not familiar with this cheese but in looking it up it might work. The consistency should be the same as cream cheese to work.
