Kasekuchen - Germany

We often think of cheesecake as being typically American, but have you ever tried the German version? It's made with quark, a fresh dairy product similar to our version of cottage cheese but with a slightly creamier and smoother texture. It has a mild flavor that stands in perfectly for cream cheese in this delish authentic recipe, complete with a pie-like crust. It might not be what you're used to, but it's definitely worth a try!
