The Real German Cheesecake is a classic dessert in Germany, known for its creamy texture and flavorful balance. It is typically made from Quark cheese, a type of mild, soft cheese that is low in fat and high in protein. The cheesecake is typically flavored with vanilla and lemon zest, giving it a subtle, yet distinct flavor. This recipe differs from the American-style cheesecake, which uses cream cheese as a base. Instead, it uses Quark cheese, which gives it a light and fluffy texture. If you're a fan of cheesecake or just looking to try something new, this Real German Cheesecake is a must-try recipe for anyone who loves creamy, delicious desserts.

5.In another bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks.
6.Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture.
