Servings; 4


Ingredients

250 g Quark (20% fat) 

400 g cream cheese

3 Oranges

400 ml orange juice

6 tbsp sugar

1 small Piece (s) Cinnamon sticks

1 Vanilla pod or 1tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp Lemon juice

Gingerbread cookies as needed


For decoration

Almond flakes

Cocoa powder

Possibly mint





Preparation

Wash and fillet the 3 oranges. Put aside. Cut the gingerbread into small pieces.


Caramelize 2 tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan, then immediately deglaze with the orange juice. Bring to the boil carefully until all the caramel has melted. Add the piece of cinnamon stick, the filleted oranges and the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Turn off the stove and let the oranges steep for 10 minutes.


In the meantime, slit the vanilla pod lengthways, scrape out the pulp and set aside for the quark mixture. Add the empty vanilla pod to the orange stock.

Mix cream cheese and quark in a bowl until creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla pulp and continue stirring.

Now layer everything in 4 dessert glasses. First put 2 tablespoons of quark mixture into the glass and then about 2 tablespoons of the gingerbread pieces. 

Then add 2 tablespoons of the filleted oranges and 1 - 2 tablespoons of orange stock.

 Then again 2 tablespoons of quark mixture, 2 tablespoons of gingerbread, 2 tablespoons of orange fillets and 1 - 2 tablespoons of stock. Finally, a blob of curd mass.


Just add a few almond leaves, cocoa or maybe something green (mint) as decoration!

n

Be careful with caramel, if it takes a long time to cook, caramel quickly becomes bitter! Distribute the sugar evenly in the pot and as soon as it has melted, pour orange juice over it.


The dessert tastes best fresh and not very chilled!
