Quark cream strudel

Beat the butter with two-thirds of the sugar, the vanilla sugar, lemon juice and zest, and the egg yolks. Then stir in the curd cheese and cream, and finally fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites with the remaining sugar. Place the strudel on a floured or slightly damp kitchen towel. Spread the curd cheese mixture onto the buttered strudel dough. Then, using the towel, roll the strudel up and place it, seam-side down, on a greased baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and bake at 180°C until golden brown. Dust thickly with icing sugar. Tip: it tastes best served lukewarm with vanilla sauce. You can make the strudel in a casserole dish, just like the cream strudel, and pour over butter and canary milk.
