This is a fine American German Cheesecake. German Cheesecake is not made with grahm crackers but a dough made of flour, butter, egg, sugar, lemon, and vanilla-sugar. Quark is available or it can be similarly made using cottage cheese with sour cream added and put in a blender to smooth.

I cant say on taste for I don't eat them I just bake them for people. But on baking this for the first time I found it rather a long process since I'm used to the regular cheesecake. I had alot of the batter let over even using a 12" pan, and it cooked like a soufle, unless I did something wrong. I wish it had a picture I could go by. And unless you know something about cooking this recipe will be hard for you. This recipe took alot longer than 30 min. to prepare.

Being from Germany, I know what the "normal" German cheesecake should taste like. I found the taste to be close, but it cannot be compared with a cheescake made with Quark instead of cottage cheese. I also found that the hardest part of making this cake was the "pushing cottage cheese through a sieve." In the end I found it easier to just throw it into the blender and blend it until smooth.
