QUARKTORTE - SWISS QUARKCHEESE TORTE



Quarktorte - Swiss Quarkcheese Torte image

A delicous german recipe! Found on http://rosas-yummy-yums.blogspot.com, posting for zwt6! The author of the recipe posts this, " In Switzerland as well as in Germany or Austria (Käsekuchen), we like to eat a kind of lighter version of cheesecake called "Quarktorte". It is made with "quark cheese" (see infos), a kind of fresh cheese of central European origin that is also known as "curd cheese". This tart is sometimes prepared without any kind of pastry base. In some ways, it is a little similar to the Polish "Sernik", the "Brocciù Tart (Fiadone)" of the Corsicans or the Italian "Ricotta Tart"... This "Quarktorte" is really delicious. I highly recommend it to all those who love cheesecakes and tarts. Although, it is extremely light and fluffy textured and doesn't contain as much fat as it's American cousin, this tart is a real stomach filler! But on the other hand, it is particularly enjoyable with it's tangy and fresh cheese taste, lemony aroma and it's honeyed little raisins. Delicate, sweet without exaggeration and ever so scrummy! This tart will make you discover new horizons in the cheesecake world. A marvelous recipe that deserves attention!" ENJOY!!!
