This fluffy quark cheesecake with chocolate and raisins uses 1 kg of quark, a fresh farmer's cheese, with no crust or flour, thickened only with a tablespoon of semolina and a little starch. Beat the eggs with powdered sugar, add the quark and lemon juice, then fold in the chocolate and raisins to taste. Pour the mixture into a pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 180–200°C (350–400°F). Serve with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Beat the eggs with the sugar, then add the quark and lemon juice.
Mix thoroughly, add the semolina and starch, and mix again. Finally, fold in raisins to taste and pour the mixture into a baking pan.
Bake at 180–200°C (350–400°F) for approximately 30–40 minutes.
Let the baked cheesecake cool, then pour melted chocolate over the top.
Tip: You can also add cinnamon, lemon or orange zest, ginger, nutmeg, other berries, dried fruit, or nuts to the batter.

Tip: Press the quark through a sieve or blend it for a smooth cheesecake without lumps. Let the baked cheesecake cool in the turned-off oven with the door ajar, as a sudden temperature change will cause it to sink and crack more.
