Blueberry Quark Bake with Banana

Beneath the cinnamon sugar topping is a soft quark filling with banana and blueberries. This bake needs no flour or semolina and makes one generous portion for a sweet lunch, or a smaller helping each if you share it.

An idea I first saw on social media

I already knew quark could be baked into cheesecake, but it was social media that gave me the idea of a simple quark bake. I like how little preparation it needs: mix the filling, fold in the blueberries and let the oven take over.

What goes into the filling

A ripe banana adds sweetness and is easy to mash. Mix it with an egg, low-fat quark, unsweetened almond drink and vanilla sugar. Fold in the blueberries at the end, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon before baking.

How to tell when it is ready

Bake at 160 °C conventional heat for about 50 minutes. The top should be browned and the centre set. A skewer can have moist quark clinging to it, but there should be no liquid batter. The timing can vary with the dish and oven. Let the bake rest briefly before eating.

Kitchen tip

Use a fairly small baking dish so the filling is not spread too thin. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely towards the end of baking.

Cook mode

1. Preheat the oven to 160 °C conventional heat. Peel the banana and mash about 120 g flesh with a fork, then whisk with the egg. Briefly blend if you prefer a smoother mixture.
2. Stir the quark, almond drink and vanilla sugar until smooth. Mix in the banana and egg. Wash and drain the blueberries, then fold them in gently.
3. Spoon into a small baking dish. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the top.
4. Bake for about 50 minutes until the top is browned and the centre set. A skewer may have moist quark on it but no liquid batter. Bake a little longer if needed, loosely covering the top if it gets too dark. Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
