Frieda's Lemon Quark Torte

BEST MADE A DAY (OR EVEN TWO) AHEAD

Ingredients for the crust:
  • 200 grams flour (Frank replaces 50 gr flour with 50 gram ground hazelnuts or almonds, and sometimes tosses in a handful of finely grated coconut)
  • 150 grams butter, cut into pieces
  • 50 grams brown sugar
  • pinch of salt
Ingredients for the filling:
  • 200 grams sugar
  • 3 egg yolks + 2 egg whites
  • 500 gram quark (in France, faisselle of 6% MG works very well; if you live in a country where supermarkets don't carry quark and want to make your own? Follow this link)
  • 13 grams gelatin (= 7 sheets of a standard 9-sheet/17 gram package)
  • 6 tablespoons of water
  • ¼ liter heavy whipping cream (do not use light cream)
  • juice of 3 large lemons
