Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade German Quark.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 200°F (95°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a colander and line it with cheesecloth, then set it over a large pot in your sink to catch the whey that will drain off later.
Step 3
In a 2-quart ceramic casserole dish, gently combine the buttermilk and heavy cream, mixing them together until they’re beautifully blended.
Step 4
Once your oven is ready, place the dish inside and let it work its magic for about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Step 5
After the time is up, carefully pour the warm buttermilk mixture into your prepared colander, allowing it to drain for 45 to 60 minutes.
Step 6
This is where the transformation happens! Once the mixture has drained, transfer the resulting cheese into a bowl.
Step 7
Using an electric hand mixer, beat it until it’s smooth and creamy, creating a delightful texture that’s perfect for spreading or adding to recipes.
Step 8
Finally, store your homemade quark in the refrigerator, ready to elevate your dishes whenever you need it.
Step 9
Enjoy the satisfaction of creating something delicious from scratch!.
