Cheese Meringue Slices

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Mix flour and baking powder. Add sugar, vanillin sugar, egg yolk, 1 tablespoon cold water and butter in pieces. Knead into a smooth shortcrust pastry. Wrap in foil and put in a cool place for about 30 minutes. Roll out the short pastry on a half greased fat pan (34x38 cm/or 30x36 cm) to a rectangle of approx. 18 cm width. Prick the base several times with a fork.

2. 2

   Line the open side of the pastry with a strip of aluminium foil folded several times and possibly place a box cake baking tin against it. Bake in the preheated oven (electric: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile melt butter and let it cool down. Separate 2 eggs. Mix quark, egg yolk, remaining whole eggs, 75 g sugar, vanillin sugar, lemon zest and flour. Finally, stir in liquid butter. Spread the quark mixture on the hot shortcrust pastry base and bake for another 20-25 minutes. In the meantime beat 3 egg whites until stiff and finally add the remaining sugar while stirring. Stir in lemon juice as well. Put the meringue mixture into a piping bag with a star-shaped spout. Spray the meringue lengthwise as three, approx. 6 cm wide strips in a wavy pattern onto the pre-baked curd mixture (do not spray too closely as the meringue expands during baking).

Spray the meringue lengthwise as three, approx. 6 cm wide strips in a wavy pattern onto the pre-baked curd mixture (do not spray too closely as the meringue expands during baking). Bake for another 25-30 minutes. Let the cake cool completely on the fat pan. Remove the aluminium foil rail and cut the cake into three strips. Cut each strip into 4 pieces, dust with icing sugar and arrange on a plate. Results in about 12 pieces
