Ingredients

    • 125g sugar
    • 3 Egg yolks
    • 50ml water
    • 50ml lemon juice
    • 6 sheets of gelatine, 2g each
    • 250g fresh cheese (Quark or ricotta)
    • 400g whipping cream mixed with 60g sugar
    • 1 medium sized jar of glazed cherries in syrup

Method

  1. Mix the sugar, the Egg yolks, the water and the lemon juice together, and heat up just until the combination comes to the boil.
  2. Place 5 sheets of gelatine in a pan of cold water, and when they rehydrate, discard the water and completely dissolve them over a very low heat. Take care, as too much heat can burn them. You can also dissolve the gelatine using a little of the mixture you have made in step 1, to ensure that there is no risk of it burning.
  3. Stir the Egg and sugar mixture into the dissolved gelatine, then add the fresh cheese. Ensure that it is completely emulsified.
  4. Whisk the cream with the sugar and very carefully add it to the previous mixture.
  5. Place the mixture in a 20cm round cake mould and leave it in the fridge to set. It will need about 4 hours.
  6. When it is set, you can decorate the cake with the glazed cherries. Drain the syrup and place them attractively over the whole cake. Next, dissolve 1 sheet of the gelatine as explained in step 2, mixing it with 100ml of the cherry syrup. Pour it over the cake, and in 5 minutes it will have set and the cake will be ready to be enjoyed.
