a fine dessert or simply for in between

Wash and dice the fruit, sprinkle with sugar, and place it in a baking dish or a nice fruit bowl. Put the quark in a bowl, add a little cream, and stir. The quark should be nice and creamy—don’t use too much cream, or it will be too runny. You may need to add more sugar. I think it’s especially nice in the summer when you color the cream with yellow food coloring. It then looks really fresh. Pour the quark mixture over the fruit salad and smooth it out so that everything is covered in quark. Mix the almond slivers and the brittle and sprinkle it over the quark. There shouldn’t be any quark left on the surface, so sprinkle it thickly. Garnish with a few cherries or, depending on the season, with something else, and chill for about an hour. The dessert is called gratinated fruit salad because, when finished, it looks as if it were baked.
