Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 large package chocolate sandwich cookies (approximately 39 cookies), crushed

  • 6 tablespoons butter (approximately 75 grams), melted

  • 16 ounces (454 grams) 15% cooking cream (light cream)

  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

  • 5–6 tablespoons vanilla pudding mix

  • 2/3 cup sugar

  • 18 ounces (500 grams) quark cheese, 3% or 5%

  • caramel topping, for drizzling

Directions

Prepare the Cheese Cups

1.

Mix half of the chocolate cookie crumbs with the butter.

2.

Press on bottom of small, clear dessert cups with a stand. Place in fridge or freezer.

3.

Place cooking cream, lemon juice, vanilla pudding, sugar, and cheese in the mixer. Mix until it becomes a soft cream.

4.

Pour on top of crumbs.

5.

Drizzle caramel topping on top of cheese.

6.

Sprinkle remainder of crumbs on top. Drizzle more caramel topping on top, if desired.

7.

Place in freezer until using. If using that day, refrigerate for a few hours prior to serving.

Variation:

Use chocolate sandwich cookies for the bottom crumbs and vanilla sandwich cookies for the top for a dramatic presentation. I often buy the duplex crème cookies and separate the dark and light cookies before crushing. Also, for a lower-fat version substitute 9% or 15% cooking cream for the heavy cream.

Half and half is a common ingredient in any dairy case. It’s half milk and half cream.
