FAQs
Q: What is quark?
A: Quark is a fresh dairy cheese common in Europe, similar in texture to Greek yogurt but less tangy and creamier. International Desserts Blog+1
Q: Why is it called “in 5 minutes”?
A: The actual mixing/prep time is about 5 minutes; cooling still takes longer, but you’ll have the batter done in minutes.
Q: Can I bake it instead of chilling?
A: Yes—traditional quark cheesecakes are baked; however this quick version is no‑bake to keep prep minimal.
Q: Can I make this gluten‑free?
A: Yes—no crust is used, and cornstarch is naturally gluten‑free. Just ensure all ingredients are labelled gluten‑free.
Q: Why does my cheesecake weep or get watery?
A: Excess moisture in quark or yogurt can cause seepage. If using Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, ensure you drain it well before use.
