Method:

Drain the quark by wrapping it in cheese cloth, placing in a colindar with a heavy weight on top. Leave to drain overnight. The quark will have reduced in volume as it dries out and will become crumbly.

Beat butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Press egg yolks through a sieve and mix thoroughly with butter mixture. Gradually add quark and crystallised fruit. Stir to mix and then fold in whipped cream.

Spoon the mixture into the terracotta pots lined with pieces of the cheese cloth or muslin.

Cover the top with the cloth and place a plate on top. Place in fridge for several hours with a heavy weight on top. The terracotta will absorb more of the water and it can also escape out the hole in the bottom of the pot.

Serving
When ready to serve turn out onto a serving plate. Decorate the tops with red cherries or a red rose.
