What is quark?

[@Just_Bake_with_Carol]

Quark is a creamy, soft dairy product popular in Germany, often used in baking (like cheesecakes). It’s milder than yogurt, not as rich as cream cheese, and has a smooth, thick texture. What to use instead? If you can’t find quark, here are some substitutes: Greek Yogurt (Full-Fat): Strain it to remove extra liquid. Ricotta (Blended): Smooth it out with a blender for the right texture. Cream Cheese (Softened): Good for baking but makes the dish richer. Cottage Cheese (Blended): Add a splash of cream or yogurt for smoothness. Let me know if you have more questions! 😊
