Quark Smoothie
The ideal way to incorporate some of your 5 a day. Tangy fruit flavours blend perfectly with the low fat, high protein goodness of Graham’s Quark.
A while ago it was a pleasure to create some recipes for Graham’s The Family Dairy… And now it’s time for some new ones! First up is this delicious Valentine’s Day recipe, a light sponge filled with raspberries and topped with a beautifully (and naturally) coloured Quark frosting, this healthy bake would make an ideal treat for your loved one!

Step 1
First make the loaf: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and grease and line a loaf tin.
Step 2
Mix together the ground almonds, instant polenta, almond flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk together the stevia, eggs, yogurt, melted coconut oil and vanilla until frothy, then pour this into the dry ingredients and mix to incorporate (don’t overmix!).
Step 4
Spoon half into the loaf tin then scatter over the raspberries on top in one layer.
Step 5
Now cover with the rest of the mixture, smooth out evenly and bake for about 40 minutes, until risen, golden and firm. Leave to cool.
Step 6
Meanwhile make the frosting: Beat together the Quark, syrup/honey, beetroot powder and vanilla until smooth. Keep in the fridge until needed.
Step 7
When the loaf has cooled, turn out onto a board and spread over the frosting. Sprinkle over the freeze-dried raspberries – then slice up and serve!
Enjoy!
(Keep any remaining loaf in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.)
