  3. For the quark layer: mix the QimiQ Sauce Base together with the melted butter, egg yolks, quark, lemon zest, raisins, custard powder and rum.
  4. Whisk the egg whites with the sugar until stiff and fold into the mixture.
  5. Pour the mixture onto the pastry and bake at 175 °C for approx. 60 minutes. Allow to cool.
  6. For the cream cheese layer: whisk the unchilled QimiQ Classic smooth. Slowly whisk in the melted butter. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  7. Spread the cream cheese layer onto the quark layer and allow to chill for approx. 4 hours.
