While we were staying at Uncle Soto and Tante Gisela’s house, we made our German dessert with Tante Gisela and our cousin Sophia. Trifle is actually English, but we figured since we were using German ingredients and made it in Germany, it was German!

Ingredients

250g quark

The quark container
The quark container

250g mascarpone cheese

1 package vanilla sugar

    Hi, Mikhaila, this recipe looks delicious and I probably will make it with our cherries. Just one question: where do I get “Quark” here 🙂 . . . . I know, I know, it’s smooth cottage cheese, kind off, but I haven’t seen the word “Quark” for a long time, so – just kidding, and I also know, that I could make it too. Have a great weekend, XOXO”s

      Hello Oma,

      That’s so cool that you can make your own quark and use your own cherries. It is a really fun and simple recipe to make, not to mention delicious! 🙂

    Hi Mikhaila,
    I had to look up the word Quark, as I had never heard of it! Your trifle looks and I am sure tastes, delicious. The plums add a lovely colour too. With Zoe’s leek soup, I am all set for another great dinner! Love Teta Doreen xoxox

      Hi Teta Doreen,

      I had never heard of quark either, but it tastes really good in the trifle! The plums can be replaced with any fruit. Hope you have a nice dinner! 🙂
