@eatgood4life.blogspot.com Sure! Low fat cheese works just as great. For German Quark cheese you might have to check wholefood stores or German deli.

Angie's Recipes 1/9/13 17:48

@Vicki Bensinger Quark is a very common fresh cheese in Germany. It is a mild creamy cheese without the sour taste of yogurt. It usually has much lower fat content than cream cheeses and has no salt added.

Hi there- I was inspired to make this but sadly didn't get a good result. I followed your instructions carefully and didn't sub ingredients. The possible variants are - my whey protein (you don't specify type-I used protein works naked vanilla)and - cooking time. An hour @150 produced a rubbery dry cheesecake for me unfortunately(it was an enormous soufflé part way through but reduced on cooling). Just to be sure I also followed your instructions carefully for leaving it to cool and refrigerating etc but it really wasn't edible. Going to give it another go & halve the cooking time to see if that improves it. Let me know if from your cooking there's another reason it would be like this?

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 6/4/17 15:36

@rachael williamsSorry that yours didn't turn out well. If it's rubbery, it might be that you over mixed it. Or you can try place a tray of hot water at the bottom of your oven so that it will help keep the cake moist.

[Reply]
Mary @ Fit and Fed 22/4/17 06:34
