2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

300 grams quark, 100 milliliters heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optionally top with Rote Grütze (link to recipe), Eierlikör (link to recipe) or fresh berries and mint.
Rote Grütze, berries

Notes

Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. A thick-strained Greek yogurt like the Fage brand can be used in place of quark, although the flavor will not be authentic. If you'd like to try making homemade quark, I just put together a quark tutorial in my paid memvbership (I have perfected my quark recipe over the last 10 years!).
