Frequently Asked Questions About Low-fat quark cream
What is low-fat quark cream?
Low-fat quark cream is a soft dairy spread made with quark, a fresh cultured dairy product. It has a mild, slightly tangy taste and can be used on bread or mixed into sweet and savoury dishes.
How is low-fat quark cream different from cream cheese?
Low-fat quark cream is generally lighter and tangier than cream cheese, which is richer and denser. They can sometimes be swapped in spreads or fillings, but the texture and flavour of the finished dish may change.
How can you eat low-fat quark cream for breakfast?
You can spread low-fat quark cream on toast or stir it into oats with fruit. For a savoury breakfast, mix it with chopped herbs and pepper and serve it with bread or sliced vegetables.
Can low-fat quark cream be used in cheesecake?
Yes, low-fat quark cream can be used in cheesecake filling. It may produce a lighter, less rich texture than full-fat cream cheese, so use a recipe designed for quark or expect the filling to set differently.
Can low-fat quark cream replace sour cream?
Yes, low-fat quark cream can replace sour cream in many cold dips, toppings and sauces. It is usually thicker and less rich, so loosen it with a little milk or water if a pourable consistency is needed.
Does low-fat quark cream split when cooked?
It can split if low-fat quark cream is exposed to high heat or boiled. Stir it in near the end of cooking, warm it gently, and mix a little hot liquid into it first to reduce the sudden temperature change.
Can you make a savoury dip with low-fat quark cream?
Yes, low-fat quark cream makes a quick savoury dip. Stir in chopped chives or dill, lemon juice and black pepper, then serve it with raw vegetables, crackers or roasted potatoes.
How long does low-fat quark cream last after opening?
Keep low-fat quark cream covered in the refrigerator after opening and follow the package’s guidance for how soon to use it. Use a clean utensil each time and discard it if its smell, appearance or texture has changed.
Can you freeze low-fat quark cream?
Yes, but freezing can make low-fat quark cream grainy or watery when thawed. It may no longer work well as a spread; use thawed quark cream in cooked sauces or soups, where a change in texture matters less.
Can low-fat quark cream be used in baking?
Yes, low-fat quark cream can be added to some cakes and baked goods for moisture and a mild tang. Use a recipe that includes quark when possible, since replacing another dairy ingredient can change the batter’s consistency.

What is Low-fat quark cream?
Low-fat quark cream is a smooth, spoonable fresh dairy spread made from quark, a fresh cheese popular in Germany and other parts of Central Europe. It has a mild, slightly tangy flavour and a soft texture, less rich than many cream-cheese spreads. In its home region it is eaten at breakfast or as a snack, either plain or with sweet and savoury additions.
Spread it on bread, pair it with fruit, or stir in herbs and use it as a dip. It is notably high in protein and very low in fat; a 100 g serving provides 12 g of protein. For a more filling breakfast, serve it with wholegrain bread and fresh vegetables, or add fruit if you prefer a sweeter bowl.
