Prick the pastry several times with a fork. Beat the egg white until stiff and fold into the quark mixture. Stir the liquid chocolate coating (except for about 4 tablespoons for decorating) and 2 teaspoons of cocoa into half of the quark mixture. Store the chocolate coating for decoration on the still warm water bath. Pour white and brown curd mixture in large blobs onto the shortcrust pastry. Marble with a spoon. Spread cherries on the dough.
