I assuming you’re not pouring a quantum fluid into the cheesecake, so what the fuck is quark?
Soft cheese, close to a very thick yogurt.
In anglophone areas, I believe this is known as cream cheese.
No, cream cheese would be Frischkäse in german.
Quark is (from wikipedia) : Dictionaries sometimes translate it as curd cheese, cottage cheese, farmer cheese or junket.
I'm not going to risk if that is true ior false.
Cream cheese, in my country, has a somewhat mousse-like consistency. It's creamy.
Quark is more like a very thick and smooth yogurt, with more water. I had to strain a top layer of liquid when I opened my quark.
Are they the same and I'm being fooled by labelling? Perhaps.
