Vanilla Mousse With Fresh Berries
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The low-fat quark conjures up a rich portion of high-quality protein in this dessert. Even better: the body building material from the quark, together with the proteins from the egg, is of very high quality and can be easily absorbed. Lemon juice provides immune-strengthening vitamin C.
If you do not want to use gelatine, the mousse can alternatively be prepared with agar-agar. Make sure that the manufacturer's instructions are correct. Depending on the season, you can also combine other berries or fruits with the quark mousse. How about strawberry and rhubarb, for example?
