Biscuit Cake with Quark and Strawberries

I found the recipe on Selver’s website

Base
  • 1 packet Domino biscuits, 175 g (the original recipe says 3–4 biscuits. Well, that covered about a quarter of the bottom of my 24 cm cake tin. Good thing I bought a large packet of Domino biscuits) 🙂
  • 50 g melted butter

I crushed the biscuits in a food processor and mixed them with the melted butter. I lined a springform cake tin with baking paper, the bottom and sides separately, pressed the biscuit-butter mixture onto the base and put it in the fridge while I made the filling.

Filling
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 5 gelatine leaves
  • 2 dl whipping cream
  • grated zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tbsp vanilla sugar with black specks (I used dark Meira vanilla sugar)
  • 2 dl sugar
  • 600 g quark
  • 1 packet Domino biscuits, 175 g
  • 200 g chopped strawberries

I dissolved the gelatine (I dissolved 2 tbsp gelatine in hot water rather than using gelatine leaves).

I mixed the quark with the sugar and vanilla sugar, cut the limes in half and squeezed the juice into the quark mixture, then grated in the zest. I slowly poured in the slightly cooled gelatine while stirring carefully. I whipped the cream and folded it into the quark mixture. I cut the biscuits and strawberries into quarters and mixed those in too. Then I poured the whole mixture over the biscuit base and left it in the fridge overnight.

For the top
  • 300 g strawberries
  • fresh mint

In the morning I decorated it with strawberries and mint leaves and sprinkled a little biscuit crumb over the top.

I was afraid the lime would make it sour, but it came out just right, neither too sweet nor too tart.
