| Light No Bake Cheesecake |
I don't want to mislead you so I will make a disclosure upfront. This cheesecake has
no cheese, and it is not cake. But its called a cheesecake. Calling it cheesecake sounds far better than 'set quark' or 'jellied quark'. I used quark which some people don't consider to be cheese. If you think quark is cheese, then its cheesecake, without the cake.
Technicalities aside, this thing has the same texture and similar taste to real cheesecake, minus fat, cheese and cake. The base is also missing. Its really easy to prepare, especially if you set it in glasses or cups.
This cheesecake is not suitable for vegetarians
and non-pork eaters since it contains gelatine which is made from pork, unless
you find other alternatives.
The recipe comes from With a Glass where you will find many different versions of cheesecake recipes, with and without cheese.
Ingredients
300 grams quark, cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon gelatin (or enough gelatin leaves to set 500 ml)
200 grams strawberries or nectarine or bananas or dates or other fruit of
your choice
4 tablespoons sugar
Ingredients
1.
In a saucepan dissolve gelatin in 4 tablespoons warm water. If the gelatine is
not completely dissolved, warm the saucepan and stir until dissolved
2.
Blend the cheese, fruits and sugar in a food processor
3.
Add the gelatin mixture a little at a time and mix well
4. Pour the mixture into serving glasses and chill
for at least 2 hours

Quark is one of those things that I have wanted to try but haven't got around to trying yet. I like the idea taking it one step further and making a light dessert.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Its quite a nice/neutral ingredient to work with
DeleteOhhhh I have to try this! A light dessert that is not fat free or sugar free or whatever free - just wholesome ingredients mixed together! Also, I have never tried working with gelatin - that will be a new frontier for me! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a 'clean' dessert:)

ReplyDeleteWhy take a chance that the dog food you are using is unhealthy, unsafe, or contains artificial ingredients when you can make dog food on your own? For centuries people have used the same ingredients they cook in their own food, in food for their pets! There are an innumerable amount of dog food comfort recipes to choose from, so it's up to you to find the one that fits best in your time constraints, budget, and most importantly the one that your dog likes best.
