Mandarin-Orange Cheesecake

A typical german cheesecake using Magerquark which is available in any german supermarket.  The ingredients is similar to my Cheesecake recipe but this time, I added canned mandarin oranges which is our younger son's favourite.

Ingredients:
Crust Ingredients:

200g flour

100g sugar

100g butter

1 egg

Filling Ingredients:

500g Magerquark (available from german supermarkets outside Europe - ask for Quark 20% fat)

150g sugar

1 egg (whole)

2 egg yolks

½ cup cooking oil

1 packet pudding powder (vanilla flavour)

½ litre milk

2 small cans mandarin oranges, to be drained

Method:

Knead all the crust ingredients together and form into dough on flat surface.  Wrap in cling wrap and store in fridge for about 30 minutes.  Line a lightly buttered 26 cm diameter cake tin (with loose bottom) with dough with the edges halfway up the sides. Arrange mandarin oranges on dough.

Preheat fan oven to a temperature of 160° C.  Mix all filling ingredients together except the milk.  Lastly, add the milk so that the fluid consistency is reached.  Do not cook the filling.

Pour half of filling into cake tin which is placed on cold oven rack.  Return to oven and pour the remaining filling and mandarin oranges.  This is to avoid spillage while transporting the cake tin to the oven.  Bake for about 60 minutes.

Once done, remove cake tin from oven and leave to cool down completely before removing cheesecake.  This is how a cross-section of the cheesecake looks like:

Bon Appetit!
