These ombré quark and berry parfaits are a layered dessert with creamy quark and mixed berries, with colors that gradually deepen from light to dark. A cream made with smooth quark, a soft curd cheese, sour cream, lime juice, and zest is blended with increasing amounts of fruit, and a portion of each layer is mixed with chia seeds. Spoon the layers around the edges of the glasses to keep them separate. Sweeten to taste with honey and garnish with mint.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

In a bowl, mix the quark with the sour cream, lime juice, and grated lime zest. Sweeten the cream as needed.
Add a small portion of the fruit to the cream and blend until smooth. Mix one-third of the cream with 1 tbsp of chia seeds and divide between the bottoms of 2 glasses.
Add more fruit to the remaining cream and blend again. Mix half of this darker cream with chia seeds and carefully spoon it over the bottom layer, preferably around the edge of each glass.
Add the remaining fruit to the remaining cream, blend, stir in chia seeds, and layer into the glasses.
Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 4 hours to set. Garnish with fruit and mint before serving.

Tip: If using frozen fruit, thaw it in a strainer and leave the released juice out of the cream. The juice would thin the cream and cause the colored layers to run together in the glasses.
