Making the Quarkschaum

If you don't have quark you can make a similar filling by rinsing cottage cheese. Do enough to make 1/2 cup. |

Puree cheese in blender or push through strainer. |

4. Place milk in a stainless bowl that will fit on top of a 1 quart pan of simmering water. Split the vanilla bean and scrape out the vanilla seeds with a knife.
|

Place seeds and vanilla pod in the milk and heat over double boiler for a few minutes to extract flavor into the milk. Then remove the pod. |

Add 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar to the egg yolks in another bowl and blend in. |

Add this to the milk and cook for about 5 minutes over simmering water till thickened. |

Here is what the texture will look like.

Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and whip with electric beater till frothy. Then add the reserved powdered sugar 2 tablespoons at a time as you continue to whip until stiff. |

Fold in the quark or pureed cottage cheese Fold in the quark or pureed cottage cheese into the egg and milk custard |

Fold in the stiff beaten egg whites. |

Put Quarkschaum on top of the compote. I brown the quarkschaum here with a blow torch. |

It also works well to put in nice looking oven proof dessert bowls or ramekins. Bake for 10-15 minutes on 400 degrees till it starts to lightly brown. Then turn on the broiler and keep oven door open so you can watch, to add a deeper browning on top. It browns fast. |

I use a torch to cook the top of the Meringue
