Westfälische Götterspeise (Westfalian Ambrosia)





Cherry Layer:


1 lb sour cherry (pitted)


1 tablespoon sugar


2 tablespoons cognac


lemon peel (about 2 inches)





Cream Layer:


1/2 lb Quark


2 tablespoons sour cream


1/2 lb whipping cream


3-4 slices pumpernickel bread (to make 1/4 pounds)


2 ounces meringues (bought one, see note)


2 ounces hazelnuts, coarsely chopped


2 ounces sugar


2 teaspoons vanilla extract





Decoration:


2 tablespoons grated chocolate


4 cherries


hazelnuts





Put cherries, sugar and lemon peel into pot, bring to a single boil and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.





Take from heat, let cool slightly and add cognac. Divide cherries and fluid into 4 serving glasses. Pack the cherries, so that they make a dense layer. Cover with cling film and put into the fridge.





Toast the pumpernickel in the oven until it completely dry and slightly roasted. Take out of the oven and let cool completely. Chop the pumpernickel finely (I use the food processor). Add the very coarsely chopped hazel nuts and set aside.





In a bowl mix quark, sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.





Chop the meringue very coarsely and add to the quark mixture. Mix carefully with a spoon.





Add the pumpernickel mixture and mix with a spoon.





Beat the whipping cream until stiff. Add to the quark mixture and fold in carefully. Do not overmix it.





Divide quark mixture into the four serving glasses, cover again and chill it for about 2 hours in the fridge.





To serve: take out of the fridge, sprinkle with some chocolate, add a few hazel nuts and a cherry.





Notes: you can premix the cherry layer with the cream layer. It looks not as fancy as the layered serving, but it taste as good as the layered one.





You can store this dessert for one day in the fridge. It is even better the next day.





You can use preserved cherries. But then don't cook the cherries. Cook only the fluid as described above. To thicken the fluid you can add cornstarch. Dilute 1 tsp in a bit of cold water and then add this mixture to the cooking fluid.





You can sub the meringue here by ';dry'; cookies or butter cookies.
There are several really easy recipes that would work great for you at the site below. Especially good would be the slow cooker ';Pork and Sauerkraut Dinner'; and the ';Black Forest Cake';. The ';Easy Potato Salad'; is also great and easy to make lots quickly.





Hope you have a great feast!
