Recipe Summary Easy-Made German Quark
This is a German product that can be thought of as a cross between cream cheese and yogurt. It's a primary ingredient for German cheesecake.Ingredients | German Cheesecake Recipe With Cream Cheese½ gallon whole-milk buttermilk1 cup heavy whipping creamDirectionsPreheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a colander with cheese cloth and place over a large pot in the sink.Gently mix buttermilk and cream together in a 2-quart ceramic casserole dish.Cook in the preheated oven for 2 hours and 15 minutes.Pour buttermilk mixture into the prepared colander; drain for 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer drained cheese to a bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Store in the refrigerator.Do not use low-fat buttermilk. It will not work well.Add some freshly cut chives, a couple cloves of minced garlic, onions, salt, and pepper for taste and you have a basic krauter(herbal) quark, a great spread right on your favorite bread or roll.For cheesecake, let it drain a little longer.It can be made using a yogurt maker, but this is an overnight procedure. This is a quicker way that yields pretty much the same product.Info | German Cheesecake Recipe With Cream Cheeseprep:
