QUARKTORTE - SWISS QUARKCHEESE TORTE



Quarktorte - Swiss Quarkcheese Torte image

A delicous german recipe! Found on http://rosas-yummy-yums.blogspot.com, posting for zwt6! The author of the recipe posts this, " In Switzerland as well as in Germany or Austria (Käsekuchen), we like to eat a kind of lighter version of cheesecake called "Quarktorte". It is made with "quark cheese" (see infos), a kind of fresh cheese of central European origin that is also known as "curd cheese". This tart is sometimes prepared without any kind of pastry base. In some ways, it is a little similar to the Polish "Sernik", the "Brocciù Tart (Fiadone)" of the Corsicans or the Italian "Ricotta Tart"... This "Quarktorte" is really delicious. I highly recommend it to all those who love cheesecakes and tarts. Although, it is extremely light and fluffy textured and doesn't contain as much fat as it's American cousin, this tart is a real stomach filler! But on the other hand, it is particularly enjoyable with it's tangy and fresh cheese taste, lemony aroma and it's honeyed little raisins. Delicate, sweet without exaggeration and ever so scrummy! This tart will make you discover new horizons in the cheesecake world. A marvelous recipe that deserves attention!" ENJOY!!!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your quarktorte. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Make sure your quark is at room temperature: This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a water bath: This will help keep it moist and prevent it from cracking.
  • Let the cake cool completely: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Quarktorte is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy, tangy filling and flaky crust, quarktorte is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
