Authentic German Cheesecake image

My mom searched for years for an authentic German cheesecake recipe, but Germans use 'quark', an ingredient not readily available in the U.S. This recipe uses cottage cheese in place of quark and makes its own crust while baking.

This cheesecake is delicious, but it's a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend serving it with fresh berries or fruit compote.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out well. It was too dense and the flavor was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. It was still good, but not great.
