This two-tone quark and chocolate dessert is a quick sweet treat served in glasses, with no cooking or baking required. Quark, a fresh farmer's cheese, is beaten with powdered sugar and combined with whipped cream and sour cream; part of the cream is colored with melted milk and dark chocolate. The light and dark creams are layered alternately in glasses or bowls and chilled. Preparation takes about ten minutes, making this a dessert you can put together even for unexpected guests.

Ingredients

Quark (farmer's cheese) 1 tub
Heavy whipping cream (33% fat) 1 cup
Powdered sugar to taste

For the chocolate layer

Sour cream 1 tub
Melted chocolate (1 milk chocolate and 1 dark chocolate) 2 bars

1 cup = 250 ml (metric cup)

Tick off what you already have at home.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the quark with the powdered sugar, then gently fold in the whipped cream.
Make the chocolate cream by stirring the melted chocolate into the sour cream.
Alternate layers of the two creams in bowls and chill.

Tip: Press the quark through a sieve for a smooth cream. Stir a spoonful of sour cream into the melted chocolate before adding the rest; otherwise, the chocolate may seize into little bits in the cold sour cream.
