This cake is the perfect combination of the milky smoothness of quark cheese and the tropical freshness of ripe mango. Unlike industrial cheesecakes, this version stands out for being light, rich in high-quality protein, and free of refined sugars. Quark adds a delicate texture and is lower in fat than other cream cheeses. By using stevia, we keep all the sweetness without the calories of sugar, and with Cream of Tartar we achieve a firm, airy structure. It is an ideal dessert for those who want to take care of themselves without giving up exquisite flavor.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Base: Crush the whole grain biscuits and mix them with the melted butter. Cover the bottom of a springform pan, pressing firmly. Set aside in the fridge.
-
Fruit puree: Peel one of the mangoes and blend until you get a smooth puree.
-
Technical mixture: In a bowl, beat the quark cheese with Castelló Stevia + Erythritol 1:1, the egg yolks, the vanilla, and the mango puree until the mixture is smooth.

Stiff peaks: Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks together with Cream of Tartar. This ingredient is key to keeping the cake soufflé from losing volume.

Folding: Fold the egg whites into the quark mixture with gentle, folding motions to keep the air in.
-
Baking: Pour the mixture over the biscuit base. Bake at 170°C for 35-40 minutes (in a water bath for a silkier texture).

Decoration and chilling: Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Before serving, decorate the top with fresh slices of the second mango.
