In Conclusion: The Last Bite

Quark is a fresh cheese with a light, tangy flavor. This month I conclude my musings with a recipe featuring this German-influenced delicacy:

Quark Pumpkin Mousse

Ingredients:
1 lb of quark
2 Tbsp milk
1/3 cup sugar
½ cup whipping cream, whipped
½ cup pumpkin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
*Create ginger snap crust or serve with ginger snaps
Top with chopped pecans and dates
Preparation:
Stir quark, milk and sugar together until smooth. Add pumpkin, cinnamon and spice. Fold in the whipped cream. Pour into crust*. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Right before serving add pecans and dates.

This is your wine and cheese crowd, and nothing ever goes wrong at such events.
