For 8 portions

Ingredients

250 g smooth quark
500 ml whipping cream (33 %)
1 whipping cream stabilizer
3 tablespoons honey (can be replaced with powdered sugar to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
18 butter cookies

optional: chopped dark chocolate

Preparation procedure

Preparing the cream Whip the chilled cream to stiff peaks together with the stabilizer. Gently fold the quark, honey and vanilla extract into the whipped cream. If you want to enrich the ice cream, fold in the chopped dark chocolate.
Layering Line the bottom of a smaller baking dish or pan with 9 cookies. Spread the prepared quark-and-cream cream evenly over them. Arrange the remaining 9 cookies on the surface so that they form a top "crunchy" layer.
Freezing Place the finished ice cream in the freezer for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, so it firms up well and can be sliced.
Serving Before slicing, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 2–3 minutes. For cutting, use a sharp knife warmed in hot water. Serve the ice cream as slices or pieces.

Total preparation time: 15 minutes + min. 6 hours freezing

Number of servings: approx. 8 slices
