Cheesecake without a base

Ingredients for 12 servings:

• 1,000 g quark (low-fat quark)
• 200 ml sour cream
• 100 g sugar (fructose/table sugar, 25 g more)
• 100 g margarine
• 1 pack of pudding powder, vanilla
• 3 tbsp semolina
• 2 eggs
• 1 lemon(s)

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Beat the margarine and sugar until smooth, then add the eggs. Now add the quark, sour cream, and vanilla pudding, along with the juice of one lemon. Finally, stir in the semolina. Pour the batter into a springform pan (any size) and bake on the middle rack at around 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit), gas mark 2-3, until golden brown. The great thing about this recipe is that you can vary the ingredients as you like—for example, use fewer eggs or fewer lemons. It’s guaranteed to be a success. To make sure the batter is really done, I take a thin knitting needle and stick it into the batter. If there’s still batter sticking to it, the cake needs to stay in the oven for a little while longer. If not, it’s done.
