For 12 portions

Ingredients

For the biscuit base:

300 g cocoa BeBe biscuits
100 g butter

For the quark cream:

500 g quark (full-fat, tub)
400 ml whipping cream
200 g powdered sugar
25 g gelatin (powdered or sheet, prepare according to instructions)
1 lemon (juice)

For the topping:

200 g strawberries (fresh or well-drained canned)
100 g strawberry cake jelly (prepare according to the manufacturer’s instructions)

Preparation procedure

Base: Blitz the biscuits into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and stir into the biscuit crumbs. Line the bottom of a 26 cm diameter springform pan with baking paper, press the mixture into an even layer and chill for 60 minutes.
Gelatin: Prepare according to the package instructions (soak and dissolve sheets, swell and heat powdered). Let cool until lukewarm.
Cream: Whip the quark with the powdered sugar until smooth. Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold into the quark with a spatula. Stir in the lemon juice. While stirring continuously, pour the lukewarm gelatin in a thin stream.
Filling: Spread the cream over the chilled biscuit base, smooth the surface and chill for at least 60–90 minutes to allow the cream to set.
Strawberries and jelly: Slice the strawberries and arrange them on the set cream. Prepare the strawberry cake jelly exactly according to the package instructions and, after it has cooled slightly, pour it over the strawberries in a thin layer. Let it set in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes.
Serving: Carefully remove the ring of the pan, cut the cake with a sharp knife warmed in hot water and dried.

Number of servings: 12

Total preparation time: approx. 3 hours (including setting)

Tips:

For a more pronounced flavor, add finely grated lemon zest to the cream.
To prevent the strawberries from sliding, brush them first with a few tablespoons of jelly, let it set for a few minutes and only then pour over the rest.
A gluten-free version works with gluten-free biscuits.

Conclusion

The no-bake quark cake with strawberries is a proven choice when you want a quick, fresh and visually impressive dessert without turning on the oven. The cocoa base contrasts perfectly with the light cream and fruit, and thanks to the gelatin it holds together well even when transported. Make it the day before and enjoy its perfectly rested flavor.
