Traditional German Quark Cheesecake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 pound small curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature, 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), for optimal results.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare the 9-inch springform pan by coating its bottom and halfway up its sides with a thin layer of grease.
3
Meanwhile, combine three key ingredients - sugar, cornstarch, and flour - in a separate bowl. Set this mixture aside for now.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine two crucial dairy products - cream cheese and cottage cheese. Utilize an electric mixer to blend these ingredients at high speed until they achieve a smooth and fluffy consistency.
5
Add softened butter to the mixture, blending it in until fully incorporated.
6
Then, gradually add the previously set aside sugar mixture to the bowl, continuing to blend until all components are well combined.
7
One at a time, add eggs to the mixture, blending each addition thoroughly and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
8
Finally, incorporate lemon juice and vanilla into the mixture, stirring just until everything is smooth.
9
Transfer the prepared batter to the 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
10
Place the cheesecake in a preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, allowing it to achieve the perfect texture.
11
Once baking is complete, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest in the oven with the door closed for 2 hours.
12
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for several hours.
13
Finally, chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set and achieve its full flavor potential.
