GERMANY VS THE UK: The things you'll notice every day

GERMANY VS THE UK: The things you'll notice every day// As requested by so many of you, Joerg and I decided to make a video about the differences between Germany & the UK. We start with a German cheesecake recipe, a cake which is so so popular in Germany. This is just one way to make it, you can find hundreds of recipes out there. We then go on to talk about food and also cultural differences and we had so much fun making this video and hope you don't take it too seriously. Thank you so so much for watching. Kirsten & Joerg x

RECIPE GERMAN CHEESECAKE:

We used 'Käsekuchenhilfe' to make a perfect cheesecake

Ingredients
For the shortcrust pastry you need

200g gluten free or regular flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
75g sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract
1 egg
100g soft butter

For the cheese filling you need

4 egg whites
4 egg yolks
150g sugar
750g fat free quark
Lemon zest
250ml milk
Käsekuchenhilfe

Method
Preheat the oven to 170 C

Mix the flour with baking powder. Add the remaining ingredients for the pastry and use an electric mixer. Transfer the pastry to the tin and press it into the base and sides. Form a lip around the edges of the tin and prick the base with a fork.

For the filling beat 1/3 of the sugar and the egg whites until stiff, add the egg yolks, quark, sugar and vanilla bean extract using an electric mixer. Transfer the cheese mixture to the tin and bake for about 70 minutes. Enjoy!
