without baking

For the base, place the ladyfingers in a freezer bag and seal the bag tightly. Finely crumble the ladyfingers with a rolling pin. Coarsely grate or finely dice the marzipan mixture. Knead the sponge cake crumbs with the marzipan and butter in a bowl. Pour the mixture into a 26 cm springform pan, greased on the bottom and sides, and lined with baking paper. Shape into a base with an approximately 2 cm high rim, then chill. For the topping, drain the pineapple slices, reserving the juice and measuring out 125 ml. Set aside 3 slices for garnishing, and cut the remaining slices into small pieces. Soak the gelatine according to the package instructions, then gently squeeze it out to dissolve it and slowly add the pineapple juice while stirring. Mix the quark with the Batida, sugar and lemon juice well, stir in the gelatine solution and add the pineapple pieces, then chill. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. As soon as the pineapple and quark mixture begins to thicken, fold in the cream. Spread the cream onto the crumb base and spread evenly, then chill for about 2 hours. Carefully loosen the springform pan rim with a knife and remove the baking paper along with the edges. To garnish, mix the icing sugar with the marzipan and a little food coloring. Roll out the cake between two layers of cling film, then cut out the leaves. Use the back of a knife to press in the leaf veins. Cut the reserved pineapple slices horizontally, halve them, and garnish the cake with the leaves and slices.
