Prague breakfast cream

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 500 g quark (0.1% fat)
• 150 g yogurt (3.5% fat)
• 3 tbsp oil, tasteless

Instructions

Working time approx. 7 minutes; Total time approx. 7 minutes

low-calorie spread

Place the ingredients in a 2-liter mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer (2 whisks), mix on the lowest speed until the ingredients are combined, then gradually increase to the highest speed and beat for 5 minutes. The cream is ready when the whisks make a smacking sound and the surface is finely rippled. This yields just under 700g of cream with a volume of approx. 650ml. Fits exactly in a 0.7-liter jar. The fat content is calculated to be 7%. If you add one less tablespoon of oil, the fat content drops to 5%, but the creaminess is less. With just one tablespoon of oil, the fat content is 3%. If necessary, you can omit the oil altogether—you’ll still get a passable cream. Whether it’s healthier or more figure-friendly this way is debatable—but I doubt it. Use: I like it best spread thickly on a freshly baked or ready-baked roll or baguette in the morning with a teaspoon of strawberry or cherry jam. The dollop of jam goes in the center and is lightly spread with a knife – heavenly! Since then, cherry jam has been back on my breakfast table, as the fruit acid loses much of its pungency when combined with the cream, making it more digestible. The cream also tastes great on its own or with fresh herbs – just like you would use pure quark or cream cheese. Tip: Give the cream a personal touch by choosing the right oil! Use high-quality oils. I use three different oils, one tablespoon of each. This makes the cream even more nutritionally valuable and an all-around healthy option. Background: This spread was born out of a desire for an inexpensive alternative to the “Brunch” spread. The 200g pack always ran out immediately, which was annoying and, in the long run, too expensive. The above amount of cream can be made for about 50 cents. If you prefer to use high-quality organic products, the price doubles to about one euro. This makes the cream 3-6 times cheaper than the ready-made product from the supermarket. The name, by the way, is pure fantasy, with a certain meaning for me, but I don’t want to reveal it here.
