My super easy lemon Quark cheesecake recipe takes only a few minutes to make. The hardest part is waiting for the mixture to chill before eating! It’s lower in calories, and fat, made possible by using light cream cheese and low-fat Quark.

What Is Quark?

If you’re not already familiar with it, Quark is a fresh dairy product loaded with protein. It tastes a bit like Greek yoghurt but has a less sour taste to it. it also contains fewer calories than Greek yoghurt, making it an ideal choice for the health-conscious.

Quarkhas been knownin Europe since the 14th century, and it can be used fresh as a substitute for soured cream or cottage cheese, in baking and even for beauty treatments!

January 19th is World Quark Day, celebrating all that is wonderful about this dairy product. Search for the #QuarkUpYourLife hashtag to see what people are making to celebrate.

This crustless German cheesecake is a quick and easy dessert that’s full of flavor. It’s delicious on it’s own (my husband and I devoured it) but you can also serve with fresh berries and side of whipped cream.

It’s a German baking staple! Quark is a fresh, non-aged cheese similar in texture and thickness to Greek yogurt. You’ll find Quark in the yogurt section but it’s not yogurt. Quark is…well, Quark!

One of the benefits of Quark is that it’s high in protein, low in sugar, super creamy, and not tart like yogurt. I fell in love with Quark the first time I ate it when I lived in Germany as a teen. It’s still one of the first things I pick up at the grocery store whenever I arrive in Germany!

While Quark is easy to find in Germany and other parts of Europe it’s not in the US. Until now, that is!!

Baked German Cheesecake Recipe

For years I either made Quark at home from scratch or I’d use Greek yogurt or pureed cottage cheese in my cheesecakes because I couldn’t buy real Quark anywhere in the US.

I bought a few tubs of Wünder Quark at my local Lowes grocery store and was super excited that it actually tasted like the Quark I ate in Germany. It’s

Since making authentic international recipes is important to my International Baking Club members, and I have several recipes on the IDB that use Quark, I reached out to Wünder to see if we could work together. I’ve been a HUGE Quark fan for nearly 3 decades and am thrilled to be able to help Wünder get their Quark into more baker’s hands!

Seriously Easy Syn Free No Bake Berry Cheesecake

Wünder offers both flavored and plain Quark. I’ve been using Wünder’s large tubs of plain Quark for baking but you can also buy plain Quark in the smaller 5oz tubs.

A few benefits of Wünder Quark? The 24oz [680g] Wünder Quark has 24 grams of protein per serving, no added sugar, and is made with whole milk from grass fed cows. It also contains probiotics from live active cultures, less than 5% lactose, and is Non-GMO product verified, gluten-free, Kosher certified, and vegetarian friendly.

If you don’t find Wünder Quark at your local grocery store, you can now order it online and Wünder will deliver it right to your doorstep in just a couple days! They sent me a box of Quark and it arrived perfectly cold and ready to use. Wünder Quark will stay fresh in your fridge for 1.5 months so you can stock up.

What You Can Do With Quark

Yes! You can make Quark from scratch at home. All you need is milk, buttermilk, and patience. Quark is easy to make but

So you have time to prepare it a couple days before you make your cheesecake. Click here to get my homemadeQuark cheese recipe and tutorial.

Don’t have Quark in your fridge? No time to make a fresh batch or order from Wünder? Here are a couple alternatives. They’re not as authentic as using Quark but they’ll work in a pinch!

Classic German Quark Cream Cake With Mandarin Oranges

First, you can use full fat Greek yogurt. If you can strain off some of the whey to thicken it up, that will help. Second, you can puree cottage cheese. Or you can use a mixture of both.

I’ve made this cheesecake both ways and while the texture was a little different (a little softer), it still turned out fine. It might look a little different, too, but that’s ok! The cheesecake on the left is one I made with Wünder Quark (it’s supposed to sink in the middle). The one on the right was made with Greek yogurt. The texture of the cheesecake made with real Quark was more like what I ate in Germany but the Greek yogurt cheesecake was delicious, too.

Great question! I love how bakery cakes in Germany have perfectly even slices, so I started using a simple cake marker that I got on Amazon. The one I bought looks like this:

Fluffy Quark Muffins (cherries, Other Fruit Or Berries)

All you do is press the marker lightly on the cake. And then you have nice clean lines for cutting even slices!

I couldn’t find the cake marker I bought on Amazon (I think it was an add-on item) but I found one that’s even better! This cake marker is double-sided so you can slice your cake in either 14 or 18 portions. This one gives you 10 or 12 portions. There are a bunch of cake markers on Amazon – from plastic to metal, for cakes, brownies, andpies.

Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer beat the room temperature butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar (or extract) until light and fluffy. I recommend using a large mixing bowl for this recipe.

Quark And Redcurrant Squares

Take the ring off your springform pan, spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray and then lay a piece of parchment on it. (Or use a round Silpat mat!)

Bake for about 70 minutes or until golden brown. Check your cheesecake at 60 minutes and continue baking in 5 or 10 minute increments.

Let the cheesecake cook in the springform pan for a few minutes, then carefully run a knife around the edge to loosen it from the pan. Remove the springform pan and place the cheesecake on a plate.

Lasagna With Quark Cheese

Cover with plastic wrap and chill the cheesecake in the fridge for several hours or overnight. It will firm up as it chills.

When you’re ready to serve the cheesecake, let it warm to room temperature. Serve with fresh whipped cream on the side. Enjoy!

My two favorite hobbies are baking and traveling. I used to live in Germany and have traveled to and worked on 4 continents. My husband and I have a travel business and happily split our time between Europe and the US.
