Cherry, Quark and Pumpernickel Trifle
These German-style trifles are made of hearty pumpernickel and fresh Quark cheese and flavoured with cherries.
Ingredients
2 250-g tubs Quark (A German yogurt cheese found in specialty food stores and also online at www.germandeli.com)
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp sugar
2 slices German pumpernickel
2 oz German dark chocolate
1 large jar German cherries in juice
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp sugar
2 slices German pumpernickel
2 oz German dark chocolate
1 large jar German cherries in juice
Directions
Beat together the Quark, milk, vanilla extract and sugar until smooth.
Using a food processor reduce the pumpernickel to fine crumbs. Finely grate the chocolate and mix with the pumpernickel crumbs.
Drain the cherries well. Now make layers in a large glass dish or 6 wine glasses. Put cherries at the base and spoon on some Quark. Scatter over the Pumpernickel.
Repeat the layers saving a few cherries and crumbs for the top. Finish with a Quark layer, then put the last few cherries on top and sprinkle lightly with crumbs for an attractive finish. Chill overnight and serve.
