Ingredients
| 150 g | flour |
| 50 g | sugar |
| 1 Packung | vanilla sugar |
| 1 Prise | salt |
| 100 g | soft butter |
| 600 ml | milk |
| 2 Packungen | vanilla pudding powder |
| 1 kg | low-fat quark |
| 150 g | sugar |
| 3 | eggs (size M) |
| 1 | vanilla pod |
| 2 TL | lemon zest |
| 150 ml | neutral cooking oil |
| etwas | icing sugar for dusting |
Preparation
Step by step through the recipe
- 1 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (fan: 180 degrees). Line the base of a springform tin (Ø 26 cm) with baking paper.
- 2 150 g Mix the flour with 50 g sugar, 1 packet of vanilla sugar and 1 Prise salt. Add 100 g soft butter and knead everything into a dough. Press the dough into the springform tin as the base (do not pull up a rim!), prick the base several times with a fork and bake for 12–14 minutes.
- 3 In the meantime, stir 100 ml of the milk with 2 Packungen vanilla pudding powder until smooth. Mix 1 kg low-fat quark with 150 g sugar and 3 eggs in a large bowl. Halve the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the seeds.
- 4 Add the vanilla seeds to the quark and stir into the quark together with 2 TL lemon zest and the pudding powder mixture. Finally, add the remaining 500 ml milk and 150 ml neutral cooking oil while stirring and mix everything well for 4 minutes.
- 5 Reduce the oven temperature to 160 degrees (fan: 140 degrees). Pour the liquid quark mixture into the hot springform tin and bake for approx. 60 minutes. Leave to cool completely on a cake rack, remove the ring and, if desired, dust the cake with a little icing sugar before serving.
Notes & tips
For anyone who loves cheesecake with a rim: simply make double the amount of shortcrust pastry – that way there is enough dough for a crispy rim; the cheesecake filling does not need to be doubled for this. Fruity variation: with pureed and whole raspberries and strawberries as a topping. Important: if the quark mixture is not stirred thoroughly at the end, the oil can separate during baking. Tip for particularly gentle cooling: after the baking time, leave the cake in the switched-off oven with the oven door closed until the oven has cooled down completely – this way the cake will not sink and stays beautifully creamy.
