Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Rolling pin
  • Spatula
  • Springform pan (18 cm)
  • Baking sheet (optional)

Ingredients

  • 150 g wheat flour
  • 80 g butter
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 500 g quark 40%
  • 1 pack vanilla pudding powder
  • 120 g sugar
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 50 ml milk
  • 1 small can tangerines drained

Instructions

  • Mix flour, butter, sugar, and egg until a smooth dough forms.
  • Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Transfer and press the dough into a greased springform pan (18 cm) to form an edge.
  • In a bowl, mix quark, sugar, vanilla sugar, pudding powder, egg, and milk until smooth.
  • Drain the tangerines and set aside.
  • Pour half the filling onto the dough, layer half the tangerines on top, add the remaining filling, and finish with the rest of the tangerines.
  • Preheat the oven to 175°C and bake for 60-70 minutes until edges are golden and center jiggles slightly.
  • Cool completely before glazing.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese if you can't find quark. Swap wheat flour for almond flour or a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free option. To enhance flavor, brush the cooled crust with apricot jam before adding the filling. Store leftovers in the fridge covered for up to 3 days or freeze wrapped slices for longer storage. Serve chilled for the best flavor experience, and feel free to garnish with mint or whipped cream before serving.
