Quark cheese and puff rice dessert
Cold quark cheese always works for me, be it in a cheesecake or any other type of dessert.
Quark cheese is used in both cold and baked cheesecakes. You can also find it in dumplings or pancakes.
Due to the fact that I have an intolerance to dairy products, I always opt for cheese without lactose. I do not know if simply I have become accustomed to it but I do not feel any difference between lactose free and regular cheese. So if you have some guests with a similar intolerance, you can make this dessert for everyone from lactose-free ingredients. I also make cheesecakes or dumplings from time to time, using lactose-free cheese.
For this weekend I am giving give you a cold dessert, for which I used not only cheese but I also prepared rice and I combined them all with fruits.

Good to know when making cheese and fruit dessert.
Frozen fruits can be replaced with fresh ones. I used frozen raspberries and also a mixture of frozen forest fruits.
I did not use too much caster sugar because I do not like over-sweetened desserts. However, if you like sugar, you can increase its amount.
Do you like raspberries? If yes, then try our recipe for Semolina raspberries dessert.
