What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Palatable Possibilities: Quark Raspberry Swirl! Quark, quark, quark. Yep…it’s a real thing. Probably the easiest way to explain what quark is would be to say, “Think about a cross between sour cream and greek yogurt”. It has the smoothness of both when mixed with veggies or fruit. Obviously when using raspberries, a little sugar makes it super-delicious. I like the fresh pleasant zing of lime juice mixed in, too. And what can I say? The coconut flavor just makes the dessert that much better.
QUARK RASPBERRY SWIRL
Ingredients:
2 cups quark
I teaspoon coconut extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons lime juice
8 ounces frozen raspberries, thawed
Lime Zest, for garnish
Instructions:
Reserve several whole raspberries for garnish. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, combine quark, coconut extract, powdered sugar, and lime juice. Mix well. Fold in thawed raspberries, gently swirling until they leave pink streaks. Scoop into dessert cups. Top each with a whole raspberry. Garnish with lime zest.
Thank you, Gail, for the wonderful treat!

It’s funny, Judi. I used to eat dessert every night after supper when I was growing up, but for some reason now I end up feeling guilty. Makes no sense. 🤔

Where do you get quark? I’ve never seen it. Wiki suggested that cottage cheese is close.
