Questions about Quark cheese
What can you make with quark cheese?
Use it in German Käsekuchen, cheesecake, dips and fillings for baked potatoes or savoury pastries. For a quick dip, stir in chopped herbs, lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
Can you bake with quark cheese?
Yes. It works well in cheesecakes and moist cakes; if a recipe calls for a firmer cheese, drain the quark in a fine sieve lined with muslin first so the mixture is less wet.
What can you use instead of quark cheese?
For dips and toppings, thick Greek yoghurt is a practical swap, though it tastes tangier. For cheesecake, use drained Greek yoghurt or a mixture of cream cheese and yoghurt for a closer, richer texture.
How should you store quark cheese after opening?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use a clean spoon each time. Follow the use-by date and any after-opening advice on the pack; freezing can make it grainy when thawed.
Can you freeze quark cheese?
You can, but thawed quark often turns watery or grainy, so it is better suited to cooked dishes than dips. Stir it well after thawing, and freeze it in a tightly sealed portion.
Is quark cheese high in protein?
It provides 15 g of protein per 100 g, making it a useful protein-rich ingredient in breakfasts, dips and baking. Mix it with fruit or herbs rather than relying on sweetened or flavoured versions if you want to control what is added.
