Finally was able to get almost all of the ingredients for this one. It is huge! Anyone want to come for afternoon tea?
Firstly as a recipe goes, it is easily made. If you roll the pastry out between 2 pieces of baking paper (I used reusable non-stick liners) it makes it so much easier to transfer to the baking dish. I used a pyrex dish roughly the size stated in the recipe. I did alter the method of beating the whites though - left the MC out and pressed the 37o button. Couldn't find those European packs of custard powder so used 20g ordinary custard powder & a tspn vanilla extract as Tenina advised in another thread.
Taste-wise - it isn't exactly what I like in a cheese-cake but then you would expect that with a European recipe. Nowhere near as sweet as ours but having said that, the taste grows on you too. It is expensive to make, the Quark was $16.99 a kg and you need a lot of people to help you eat it. Guess you could halve the recipe. Hard to score it because I think this type of dessert is a personal taste, some will like it and some won't. Hope my visitors are not in the latter category on Friday.
