Mulled wine quark

 

 

Mulled wine quark is a version of my recipe for fruit quark previously posted in this blog. This Christmassy dessert is made with (light) mulled wine and apple-cinnamon marmalade.

 

You can use quark (with fat or fat-free) or creamier alternatives, such as Turkish yogurt.

 

For a vegan version, you can substitute, for example, the cream with oat cream and the quark with soy yogurt.

 

This mulled wine quark is suitable for those following a gluten-free diet; however, make sure that the crushed almonds do not contain e.g. traces of wheat.

The light mulled wine by Valio is a good option for the mulled wine used in this recipe.
