Creamy Vanilla Cheesecake with Mandarins

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• • 1000 g quark (20% fat)
  • 400 g cream cheese
  • 4 large eggs

• • 180 g sugar
  • 2 packets of vanilla sugar
  • 160 ml heavy cream

• 2 packets of vanilla pudding powder
• 2 small cans of mandarins, drained

Steps to Make Creamy Vanilla Cheesecake with Mandarins

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. 1. Mix the Dairy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the quark, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Use a hand mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

1. 1. Incorporate the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This helps to create a smooth, homogenous batter.
   2. Add the Cream and Pudding Powder: Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the vanilla pudding powder. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated.
   3. Fold in the Mandarins: Gently fold the drained mandarins into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 2: Prepare for Baking

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) using the top and bottom heat setting.
2. Prepare the Pan: Grease a springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake

1. 1. Pour and Level: Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.

1. 1. Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly firm. The center may still jiggle a little, which is fine.
   2. Cool Gradually: Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside with the door slightly ajar for 10-15 minutes. This helps prevent cracking.
   3. Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
