5-Minute Marshmallow Quark Cream
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 3–4 cups
A light, airy, and creamy dessert with a “marshmallow” texture that’s ready in just a few minutes. Perfect as a quick treat or layered in dessert glasses.
Ingredients
400 g low-fat quark (or Greek yogurt if quark is unavailable)
1 pack (approx. 8 g) vanilla sugar
200 ml whipping cream (well chilled)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
Optional Mix-ins / Decorations
Chocolate chips or shavings
Fresh berries
Crumbled cookies or nuts
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whip the Cream
In a chilled bowl, combine the cold whipping cream, vanilla sugar, and powdered sugar.
Beat with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Do not overmix, or it will turn into butter.
Step 2: Prepare the Quark
In a separate bowl, whisk the quark until smooth and creamy.
This prevents lumps and creates a silky texture in the final dessert.
Step 3: Fold to Create “Marshmallow” Texture
Gently fold the whipped cream into the quark using a spatula.
Use a cut-and-fold motion, lifting from the bottom and folding over the top.
This incorporates air, giving the cream its light, fluffy consistency.
Step 4: Add Mix-ins (Optional)
Fold in chocolate chips, shavings, or berries as desired.
Mix gently to maintain the airy texture.
Step 5: Serve and Decorate
Spoon the mixture into dessert glasses or a large serving bowl.
Top with additional chocolate, berries, or nuts if desired.
Can be enjoyed immediately or chilled for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
Quick Tips
Thicker Quark: If your quark is very liquid, strain through a cheesecloth for 15 minutes before using.
Adjust Sweetness: Add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar during whipping if you prefer a sweeter dessert.
Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
