Quark Kaesesekuchen auf einem KuchenrostDear blog readers,

Many of you are surely familiar with at least one version of this classic bodybuilding recipe—no-bake cheesecake, also known as quark cake. Nevertheless, we’d like to share the following recipe with you, because with just a few small modifications to the original recipe, this cheesecake becomes an absolute, figure-friendly treat packed with protein and featuring moderate amounts of fat and carbohydrates.

Here’s how to make it...

 

Crustless Cheesecake—Ingredients

For a 26-cm springform pan:

  • 1000 gr low-fat quark
  • 250 gr quark, 40% fat
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 75 g soft wheat semolina
  • 1 packet vanilla pudding mix (by Natreen)
  • 1/2 packet baking powder
  • fresh vanilla or a little vanilla extract
  • about 4 tbsp sweetener
  • 1 can of apricots (by Natreen)
  • 1 small pinch of salt
  • a little lemon zest
  • A little canola oil

 

No-Bake Cheesecake - Preparation

  1. Grease the springform pan with a little canola oil.

  2. Combine all the ingredients except the apricots in a large bowl and stir until smooth.

  3. Taste to see if the sweetness is right, and add more sweetener if needed.

  4. Pour half of the mixture into the springform pan.

  5. Spread the apricots over the mixture.

  6. Spread the second half of the quark mixture over the apricots in the springform pan.

  7. Bake the cake on the second rack from the bottom for about 60–70 minutes, until cracks are visible even in the center of the cake. Then place the springform pan on a cooling rack; after about 10–20 minutes, run the back of a knife around the edge to loosen the cake, remove the springform pan’s rim, and let the cake cool slightly for another 30 minutes.

 

Cheesecake Without a Crust—Variations

  • You can substitute other fruits for the apricots.
  • To increase the protein content, you can also add vanilla-flavored protein powder.
  • If you’re avoiding every gram of fat, you can use only low-fat quark and replace the 4 whole eggs with 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs.
