I am so glad you mentioned using Quark in cheesecake. I had an English recipe using Mascarpone,but when I made it using organic Italian made Mascarpone there was a bitter taste.

Your preference is much better & healthier.
Best regards.

[...] As some of you know, I baked a Tiramusù Cheesecake last week. I was dissapointed with the taste, because I follwed the original recipe and used Philadelphia Cheese instead of quark and too bitter dark chocolate. So I made it again, this time with quark and less bitter chocolate. For my views regarding cheesecakes, just read the first attempt on this cheesecake. Most people would probably love the first cheesecake with Philadelphia cheese, but I didn’t like it at all. [...]

Hi Anne and anonymous,

I have updated the post now as I wasn't clear enough about the philadelphia cheese.

I will try to post the recipe during the weekend. About the tiramisù part; in the chocolate layer there's chocolate, espresso coffee and coffee liquer. The bottom is made of a kind of biscotti.

Sorry it didn’t work, Dagmar – it did look very promising when baking in the oven. And I do like the cake’s zebra-esque look on the lower picture.
I am looking forward to the recipe however!
