Wash the gooseberries and roughly puree them. Heat 4 tablespoons of water in a pan, add the sugar, and let it caramelize. Once the sugar has caramelized, add the gooseberries and stir vigorously. Let it cool. For the cream, stir the cornstarch, 4 tablespoons of vanilla sugar, and the vanilla pod into the milk until smooth. Bring to a boil in a saucepan, then remove from the heat and stir in the egg yolk. Let it cool. Whip the cream with 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar until stiff peaks form. Once the pudding has cooled, fold in the quark and cream. Layer the cream and gooseberry mixture alternately in glasses.
