Yes, I made quark again because the little Cherry and Matcha Cheesecake Pots I recently made were very enticing. I thought I must make the dessert a second time as it was absolutely delicious… that thought changed when I stumbled upon a comment by Magdalena from Tasty Colours on David Lebovitz’s French Tomato Tart. I set off to check her blog. Such a fun discovery. A great blog with pretty pictures, with recipes that made me wander deeper and deeper. Magdalena, who was born in Krakow, is a food blogger living in Paris, and she attempts to take the best of Polish food and present it keeping with current culinary trends.

Deeba and the rest of the lucky bakers who have access to great tasting cherries…you have to take a pause so that the rest of us can catch up!
All these mouth-watering desserts with this joyful fruit. You're making green…no…red with envy!!!
Great recipe…thanks for sharing and flavourful wishes, Claudia
This quark cheese is absolutely gorgeous! Love the colour contrast and it's pack full of flavours!
I envy u making your own cheese. I ve been wanting to try one of your homemade cheeses since forever but have never made myself do it. I think I shd very soon…i need teh courage .
The cherry filling looks absolutely gorgeous as all your desserts do…ur very lucky too to have an abundance of such pretty fruits!
Sorry for the delete Deeba. I thought my first comment didnt get thru.
Gosh, does anything you make not look delectable. You are one super talented lady.
Beautiful cheesecake(and daughter too)!
Absolutely heavenly!
Cheers,
Rosa
LOve that spectacular cheesecake Deeba; I also am a big fan of Magdalena's blog and I am fascinated with her Eastern European background;
So funny that you wanted to try a Polish cheesecake!
This one is a gem.
Looks divine Deeba!! Your blog makes me run to switch on my oven every now and then:-))
This cheesecake screams, "eat me" Deeba. How I wish I had a slice right now.
Oh yum! The cheesecake looks divine! So fresh and indulgant.
ummm! i lve this! fruity and rangy! perfect!
Grated chocolate sounds like a wonderful addition to the crust. I've never had cheesecake with anything but cream cheese. I'll have to get more adventurous. It looks luscious.
Thats simple way too tempting. yummmm
Your clicks are fantastic as ever 
makes me drool too much.
Oh, my goodness! This looks incredibly good and I love your presentation of the cheesecake. I'm sure this tastes as good as it looks. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings…Mary
This is a beautiful cheesecake! The cherries and the chocolate must be incredibly delicious together. Cherries have been so expensive here, I am hesitant to purchase them, but I might have to do it now. Love the photos, as always.
I'm loving all the cherry recipes! And this dish in particular!
Oh a cheesecake made with quark! This is for me! And if it is Polish then it must be the drier type cheesecake which I prefer as well! Excellent! And of course with cherries it has got to be outrageously delicious! Beautiful and perfect as usual, dear Deeba!
Dear Deeba,
thanks for mentioning my cheesecake recipe and mentioning my new-born blog, and for all those warms words! Greatm and encouraging!
I hope that you will be able to do this twaróg cheese (thanks for mentioning its name in Polish) one day, and to use it for some Polish style cheesecake. The tradition to eat cheesecakes is great here, and the cheesecake that I presented on my blog is just a one example of tens (or maybe, even hundreds) of recipes for Polish style cheesecakes. They may be topped with variety of summer fruits (in particular, billberries – a kind of wild blueberries ?); cherries, strawberries and so on; you can prepare the sweet dough as the bottom, but I know recipes which do not use any dough for the bottom, only cheese, cheese and cheese.
I do not think your cake is over baked; as my French husband would say, c'est bien fait. This type of cheesecake must be well baked, I think.
Anyway, yours looks really tasty, and pictures are great, too.
And as regards children, I understand what you mean. Our daughter is 2 years and 3 months years old, and since a few months refuses to eat meat, fish, vegetables and cereals.
Before that, she was well eating healthy baby. It is a disaster, and we cannot understand how it could happen, as we take care so much to eat well balanced food; in plus, since her favorite "dish" is milk and bananas, she has her nose taken all the time.
All good to you,
Magdalena
It looks absolutely lovely. The Polish style cheesecake sounds wonderful and very tasty.
hehe to get a high five from a teen is a wondrous thing indeed! Love that pic of her, she's gorgeous!
That looks insanely fantastic.
I still haven't baked with quark despite all your wonderful inspiration. I really need to do something about that!!!
Hi.We've just been transferred to Delhi. Would appreciate if you could add some info about where one would find the good ingredients for these recipes.I do find that challenging!Thanks.
You made your own quark? I tell you Deeba – you are just amazing! And I truly love the cherry topping – such indulgence.
Oh what a wonderful recipe!! The pictures are so beautiful too!
It's beautiful with the cherry topping! I really have to try this quark! I just made a cheesecake with full fat cream cheese, how sinful is that?!
Cherries with quark sounds like a great match! The topping looks so delicious. Must have been a delightful dessert!
Mmmm this looks and sounds delicious, im making a cheesecake tonight hehe yummm!!
Beautiful photos!!!
Yes the world belongs to the energetic people and also to who make wonderful things – like this cheesecake..Deeba you photos are amazing!!
Scrumptious sweet recipe
Cheers,
Gera
oh my! this recipes are so great! this pie look delicious thanks for sharing… i definetly wont look as good as this when i do it though..
That looks delish!
Cherry cheesecake is still the King. Many many varieties of cheesecake but we all comeback to the original!
Wow, you had me at cheesecake… but those gorgeous red cherries are so eye-catching! Thanks for sharing
this sounds fascinating, I adore cheesecake so I'm definitely going to take note of this one!
That cherry topping looks fantastic!! Great job
Hi Deeba, this cheesecake looks divine. You’ve inspired me to make it today. Instead of cherry topping I’m going to use mango *fingers crossed*
Also going to start a food blog instead of simply posting all my baking pics on my FB profile.
Love how you present all your food experiments, beautiful pictures!
