This redcurrant cheesecake is really easy to make and has a great balance between sweet and tart. It's perfect for a light yet creamy dessert on a hot day when you don't want to turn your oven on. You can easily replace the red currants with raspberries or blueberries.
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.

- Place the chocolate chiffon cake layer in a springform pan lined with a piece of parchment paper.
- Place 150 grams of red currants in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until berries are completely soft, about 10 minutes. Once cooked, strain through a fine sieve. Set aside to cool. Discard the pulp.
- Soak sheets of gelatin in a bowl of cold water to soften, 5-10 minutes. Remove and gently squeeze to remove any excess water. Melt the softened sheets in a saucepan or microwave over very low heat, stirring just until melted completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Magerquark, sour cream, red currant puree and sugar. Slowly stir in the melted gelatin until well combined. Fold in the rest of red currants. Cover and chill for 15 minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold into the Quark cheese mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared chiffon cake layer. Cover with a plastic film and chill for 3-4 hours. Garnish with red currants.

Last year was the first time I bought red currents and what I made wasn't very successful. After seeing this beautiful cheesecake, you've inspired me to give current another try. Thanks!
Your cheesecake is gorgeous! It looks so creamy and smooth!
Quark is not as popular here in the UK but it does sound and look very tempting. Lovely pics.
Exquisite and refreshing! Quark tastes so good.
Cheers,

Love the photos! This looks amazing!
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Quark is not easily available here, but this looks lovely. The colours are amazing. So vibrant!
Love the Quark Cheesecake component...light, and easily obtainable across the border in Switzerland!...Question...could the bottom portion be replaced with a different chiffon or type of light-color cake layer or ?....I have a husband who does not like chocolate and cheesecake...together! (I have no problem with this!)...Would an almond or vanilla riff on your chiffon do the trick?...
The groseilles are the lovely final touch...gorgeous images as per usual.
can I exchange my strawberry cheese tart with you? yours look absolutely good too.
Love the no-bake cheesecake and love that you're using currants! I think they're underused. Gorgeous photos too!
I've never heard of quark before - I'm intrigued! This came out beautiful - love all that red color!
How gorgeous and beautifully styled. I (blush) don't think I've ever seen fresh currants.
Sam
Fabulous cake, looks great.
@Donna Sure, Donna, use your favourite cake bottom...no-bake cookie crust will work great too.
Oh look at those gorgeous red currants, just like little gems. Your cheesecake look so elegant.
By the way, thanks for dropping by my humble blog. Appreciate your comments.
perfect treat to start the long weekend
What a gorgeous cheesecake! I love the bright red currants! Have a great day Angie!
Why Angie my dear you must have known my birthday was coming up and that I would sure like something like this. I love the look of those little red currants, I wish we had quark, wonder if Ricotta would be a good sub? Hope you are having a good week.
-Gina-
how we wish we got some red currants...this cheesecake looks so adorable and elegant....delicious dessert :-)
Lovely and healthy, I like a lot:D Of course quark is not easy to find here, so I can only drool over your photos!
oh angie, this is so gorgeous! i want it too!
This is such a gorgeous cheesecake. I love that its sitting on a chiffon base. And those red currants make it extra lovely.
This cheesecake of yours is simply awesome, never heard of Quark cheese before and those cute little red currants are so pretty.
Angie, the photos are gorgeous. Quark and currant might be a hard one to find around here but this recipe sure makes me want to try!
You inspire me! This is so beautiful and thanks for the explanation of the Quark Cheese. The currants are gorgeous - absolutely dreamy. The photos are fantastic - I've said it before but will again - please sign me up for a copy of your first cookbook!
Loving the use of quark in this! Much less fat! I think the sweet and tart balance would be perfect, too!
Your food is always so beautiful! It looks amazing.

I love this look absolutely beautiful! Love red currants!!

OMG..Angie su se ve torta muy hermosa_genial adoro las grosellas,hugs,hugs.
That is a gorgeous cheesecake Angie! I haven't had currants in years. I remember the tartness and I loved them. I hope I can find some here or I may have to order some online. I forget how much I enjoyed them. Thanks for bringing that memory back :)
Omg, such a gorgeous cheesecake, love to have a slice.
Wow! This is so inviting! I love that you have used quark. It is a very good cheese for this type of cake.
A beautiful summer dessert.
Oh man, how I wish we could get quark here. I've had it in Germany and loved it! This looks so pretty and delish Angie!
Pretty cake must be a delicious one as well.
Just stunning, Angie! I wish I could get gorgeous red currants like yours around here...I'll have to make due with raspberries.
Just beautiful.
I just learned about quark recently. Your cake looks beautiful.
I remember picking red currants with my mother when I was a kid :) This brings back great memories. What a beautiful cheesecake, Angie!
Angie they are just such beautiful pictures. Quark is very readily available now in Australia so thatb makes this even more tempting for me to make
My coworker introduced me to quark a few years ago. I'd forgotten all about it until your post for this lovely cheesecake. The currents add a lovely color. I can't say I have those readily available, but I'd been strawberries or blueberries would work.
When I opened this post, my first thought was gorgeous! I am in love with your photos......and now I need to try Quark someday soon! Beautiful, Hugs, Terra
What a pretty cheesecake. Looks absolutely scrumptious! Can I have a big slice? ;)
You could frame these exquisite painting for your kitchen wall Angie.
:-) Mandy xo
Delicious & seasonal cheesecake . Great summery treat indeed!
What a beautiful dessert! It would be nice and light for the summer, but I think it would be perfect at Christmas too.
The cheesecake looks very beautiful with it's contrasting colours. Quark cheese is something I'm used to, but not easy to find here (Australia)...I usually buy ricotta and add some lemon juice to it.
Love the contrasting colors. It's beautiful.
Absolutely stunning cheesecake, Angie! I have never seen quark in my markets. Is it similar to cream cheese? Your photos are utterly gorgeous!
Stunning. In fact, so stunning that I can't imagine digging into it :D
this looks beautiful! the berries are the perfect pop of color to such a work of art :)
It is easier to get fresh raspberries or blueberries here, but not red currants. This just make me fantasize ... having it as my dessert now.
Beautiful!!! Currants are not that easy to find in Miami.... Would love to make this..
What a pretty looking cheesecake! Looks very tempting!
What a pretty cheesecake. I see quark at breakfast buffets when we are traveling in Germany and Austria but have not tried it as I usually enjoy the blue cheeses that they make. When we head back this fall, I must try it.
A lovely cheesecake! And the red currants looks so good with the cake. Wish we could get red currants over here!
Oh wow....beautiful cheesecake! And Christmassy too :D I just love it!
This looks like an amazing cheesecake. Unusual to see delicious quark and redcurrants are a rare treat.
It´s so festive looking Angie! We never get fresh currants here, but we a most wonderful soft cream cheese. Another berry will have to do.
This is so pretty Angie! It reminds me so much of Christmas! What an irresistible combo!
Angie, I love-love-love currants! Your pictures look amazing, the cheesecake makes my mouth water! The strange thing is, I was never able to find currants here in the US. They just don't have them... :(
Yum, your cheesecake looks amazing!!
Red currants are so beautiful. I love how you can see through them. Like they are little jelly beads. Such a great combo in the cheese cake Angie :)
Angie, your Quark Cheesecake with the pretty little gems...the currants are so amazing and over the 'top' heavenly yummy! Unfortunately, we can't get currants here in S. Florida, but for the quark cheese, I'm pretty sure that the organic markets have them. Love the recipe and the superb photos, as well!
Is X'mas near?? Seriously, this reminds me of X'mas, Angie! Love those red currents, & the whites remind me of snow too :) Another awesome bake!
I love that the base of this is a chocolate chiffon cake! What a great way to make a cheesecake even more amazing!
Angie, lovely! I lovelovelove red currants but rarely see them in the markets here; and when I do they are extremely expensive. But for a special occasion ...
Looks so perfect and delectable ! Amazing clicks ! Though I've seen quark in all the super markets,I've never used it..time I tried it out,the cheese cake looks real tempting :)
Really beautiful cheesecake, Angie. I enjoy learning about new foods and you've introduced me to quark! Luv those red currants. Currants aren't as easy to find here hence I tried growing it, but it's seen better days.
Have a lovely weekend! :)
This is so beautiful, great job on this recipe!
so lovely!!! must taste so goog :)
This looks fantastic. Never used currants before and they look so yummy and delicious. I will look for them next time I go food shopping!!
This looks wonderful. I haven't tried using quark.
gosh ... please give me 2 slices
Mmh, this dessert looks so yummy!
I love the taste of Quark, it's refreshing and light, just perfect for summer.
Awee....what gorgeous cheesecake...love those vibrant red currents. You are a fabulous cook and equally wonderful photographer, Angie!
I saw quark for the first time at the grocery store a few weeks ago--I was excited because I recognized from your blog! :D
this looks wonderful love currants don't see them much here
Dear Angie, What a beautiful cake. You are and artist. This cheesecake would be beautiful for Christmas too. Blessings dearest. Catherine xo
What a gorgeous cheesecake , Angie ! I wonder if some shops here sells quark :D
Tempting cheesecake, Angie.
I love the bright berries on top, very pretty! This looks like a great recipe for a party!
Angie, it looks so festive. I love the look of red currants but I have never seen them here in the SC! For the cheese, since there is gelatin in the recipe, I guess it would be more like ricotta cheese here. Will try sometime and see if it holds up.
oh Angie, this is not only delicious but also pretty looking! :)
Oh this cake is calling my name Angie!!I love the currants in here and your pics are absolutely droolworthy!!Gorgeous!
Lush beautiful presentation.
Love the colors! X
The bright red currants look great with the white cheesecake! I'd love to have this for dessert today.
I adore red currants and don't get nearly enough of them since leaving England. I can just taste the sweet/tart flavors of this cake. Love the combination of flavors.
This redcurrant cheesecake is so elegant and stunning. I love how easy it is to prepare. Love that you use a chiffon cake as the base and not cookie crumbs. I always enjoy softer texture with cheesecakes. :)
Angie....Oh those red currants are so pretty and dainty! I've yet to try quark...but it looks like it's perfect for this beautiful and creamy cake.
So beautiful! I like that it has a base of chocolate chiffon cake. Love cheesecake, and I've never tried quark but I want to.
Hi Angie, very gorgeous and stunning cheesecake. Too beautiful to be eaten but I sure love to have a slice... to go with coffee. :)
Best regards.
I made your cheesecake already 2 times , once for my mom & dad & they both loved it so much,...And then once for me & my husband & his family!! We all devoured this lovely cheesecake creation instantly! ;) xxx
I'm usually not much of a lover of unbaked cheesecakes, but this one does look tempting. It's pretty amazing that you choose red currants too, because on my blog I just posted a recipe for Hot and Sweet Red Currant Jelly!
By the way, I am still having trouble leaving a comment using my iPhone, the keyboard will not pop up when I want to sign into Google. But it's also doing this on another Blogspot blog so it's not unique to your blog, but it is a Blogspot issue.

Wow!! I love those cute looking cheese cake!!!
This is beautiful! It looks like Christmas on a plate. Nice recipe!
the cake on the bottom is a neat twist! this is a most creative cheesecake, angie--nice job!
Angie, this cheesecake looks stunning...it must be the colors because this gets me all revved up for the holidays.
Toodles,
Tammy<3
I have not heard of German Magerquark cheese - is it some kind of cream cheese?
This has to be one of the most beautiful cheesecakes EVER, Angie! I love how you garnish and decorate your recipes; simply eye candy! Pinning!!!

Wow Angie, this looks insanely delicious and so pretty, I'm going to need to bookmark it for next year. My father-in-law has currant bushes, but they are gone now....
Chocolate and cheesecake on top, this is a must try! Looks gorgeous :)
Those red currants are so pretty! I've never seen them here in the states, but they make that cake so delightful.
Un pastel muy tentador y bonito un buen regalo para mi cumpleaños en agosto,hugs,hugs.
