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

  1. In a chilled bowl, combine the cold whipping cream, vanilla sugar, and powdered sugar.

  2. Beat with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

    • Do not overmix, or it will turn into butter.

🥣 Step 2: Prepare the Quark

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk the quark until smooth and creamy.

  2. This prevents lumps and creates a silky texture in the final dessert.

☁️ Step 3: Fold to Create “Marshmallow” Texture

  1. Gently fold the whipped cream into the quark using a spatula.

  2. 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)

  1. Fold in chocolate chips, shavings, or berries as desired.

  2. Mix gently to maintain the airy texture.

🍮 Step 5: Serve and Decorate

  1. Spoon the mixture into dessert glasses or a large serving bowl.

  2. Top with additional chocolate, berries, or nuts if desired.

  3. 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.
