- 600ml milk (adjust according to the cream package instructions)
- 100g quark
- 1 cup forest berry marmalade
- Milk for dipping the ladyfingers
- White chocolate, grated, for decoration
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the instant dessert cream with 600ml of milk according to the package instructions until it thickens.
- Add the quark and continue to whip until fully incorporated and smooth. This will add a slight tanginess and enrich the texture of the cream.
- Assemble the Layers:
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger in milk and lay them out in a single layer on the bottom of your serving dish or a springform pan.
- Spread half of the cream mixture over the first layer of ladyfingers.
- Spoon half of the forest berry marmalade over the cream.
- Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cream and marmalade.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4-5 hours to allow it to set properly and for the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, use a knife to loosen the edges of the dessert from the pan. Carefully remove the dessert from the pan if using a springform.
- Sprinkle the top generously with grated white chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness and elegance.
