🧂 Ingredients

  • 500 g Estonian Quark (Kohupiim)(smooth, preferably low-fat)
  • 3-4 tbsp Powdered sugar(or to taste)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Fresh blueberries(or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 tbsp Heavy cream(optional, for a richer texture)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the Estonian quark, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. If using, add the heavy cream.

  2. 2

    Whisk or beat the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.

  3. 3

    Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, be careful not to overmix, as they can bleed color.

  4. 4

    Spoon the kohupiimakreem into individual serving dishes or glasses.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for a firmer texture.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Ensure your quark is smooth. If it's lumpy, you can press it through a sieve.
  • For a more intense blueberry flavor, lightly mash some of the blueberries before folding them in.
  • Garnish with a sprig of mint or a few extra blueberries.

🔄 Variations

  • Use other berries like raspberries, strawberries, or lingonberries.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for a spiced version.
  • Serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
