    In the meantime clean, wash and cut 2 figs into six. Whip the eggs until thick and creamy white. Whip the sugar, 1 packet of vanilla sugar and salt with the whisk of a hand mixer until thick and creamy. Add the quark and mascarpone and stir in. Sift the pudding powder and sauce powder on top and stir in. Dust the figs with starch and carefully fold into the quark and mascarpone mixture. Pour onto the base and smooth it down.
