German Cheesecake with Quark

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make German Cheesecake with Quark.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9-inch springform pan and lightly grease it to ensure your cheesecake comes out easily later on.

2. Step 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the butter and 1/2 cup of white sugar. Mix them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, add in 1 egg, followed by the baking powder and flour. Knead this mixture into a dough, and then press it into the bottom and up the sides of your prepared pan, creating a lovely crust.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s make the filling! In a large bowl, mix together the quark, 3 tablespoons of oil, 3/4 cup of white sugar, the packet of vanilla sugar, and the vanilla pudding mix. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth. Next, blend in the egg yolks, an additional egg, the milk, and the fresh lemon juice. This mixture will be rich and creamy, perfect for your cheesecake!

4. Step 4

   Pour this luscious filling into the crust you prepared earlier. It’s time to bake! Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the filling is set and doesn’t jiggle when you gently shake the pan. The aroma will be heavenly!

5. Step 5

   Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool. For the best flavor, refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight before serving. Enjoy your delightful German cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit on top!
