Instructions
- Grease a 9-inch baking pan with oil. Adjust the parchment paper. Turn on the oven to 350 degrees F and preheat for 15 minutes.
- For crust preparation, pour 1 egg, 2/3 cup butter, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and flour into a mixing bowl and stir with a hand beater. Pour the mixture into the pan and smooth the surface by applying pressure with your fingers.
- For cheesecake batter, pour cream, remaining butter, and granulated sugar into a mixing bowl and use an electric mixer for one minute for a fluffy texture.
- Separate the white and yolk of five eggs. Pour the yolks into the mixture one by one using a mixer. Add quark cheese, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and vanilla sugar and mix. Add vanilla pudding powder and beat until smooth.
- Take a separate bowl, pour the egg whites, and use the electric mixer for 5 minutes. You will get stiff egg whites. Pour them into the batter and fold gently for thorough mixing.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the level with a spatula. Now, bake for 60 minutes. Turn off the oven when the edges become golden and let it stay there for 10 minutes for complete cooking.
