Not a pudding, not a custard, there is no good translation for Quarkspeise. If you can purchase the quark, a cross between yogurt and sour cream, do so, otherwise you can try this recipe with yogurt cheese.
Quark Creme is a dessert with many variations. The whipped cream can be omitted to save calories, but certainly tones down the tart flavor. This dessert is related to the English “Fool”.
