Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix graham crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles damp sand, then press firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch square pan.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk quark, sugar, and lemon zest + juice together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

  3. Step 3

    In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold gently into the quark mixture until no streaks remain.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the filling evenly over the crust, smooth the top with a spatula, then refrigerate while you prep the berries.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange strawberry halves and blueberries on top in a loose pattern, pressing gently so they stick to the filling.

  6. Step 6

    Chill at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving cold.
