This
weekend it was time for a dessert
because I just couldn’t stand walking past all this beautiful rhubarb anymore.
I am weak guys, I am weak.
But whatever, there are worse things than rhubarb on this planet so I don’t give a damn.
Aaaand, I think it has been at least 1 year since the last time I enjoyed a piece of this tart wird looking fruit ( I think it actually is a vegetable?).
Today the sun was shining and the temperatures reached 24°C! Yikes! That called for an indulgent, yet refreshing and somewhat healthy dessert to celebrate, don’t you think?
But since I really wanted to spend my time outside rather than in the kitchen I could not imagine myself baking a buttery cake . So please welcome the no-bake Cheesecake Dessert!
It is a very quick and simple recipe that comes together in 10 minutes flat, when you prepare the compote in advance as I did. That’s not too shabby for a dessert, I think.
I really love the flavor combinations of rhubarb, honey and vanilla, so I could not help myself and make a recipe out of it. For the cheesecake base I chose to use vanilla quark that is only slightly sweetend. The base is very sweet and brings together the tartness of the rhubarb and the slightly sour taste of the quark perfectly.
If you do not have quark were you live, just replace it with Greek yoghurt. It should work nicely.
Although desserts in glasses might be very old fashioned I like the idea of digging deep into the rhubarb compote and creamy vanilla yoghurt to reach the sweet, nutty crust layer. That is so exciting and such fun to eat. I don’t mind if it’s nothing cool kids do. At least I have delicious food. And a chair in the sun. Enough for a perfect Sunday afternoon.
