Rote Grütze
Layered with
Vanilla Quark Cream
(Wakelpudding Style)

I love the comeback of gelatin desserts and salads.
This is even better than just a wiggly bowl of jello though.
The Rote Grütze is such a fresh sweet tart flavor and the
Quark or Vanilla Yogurt Cream as I normally use blends so nicely with this. This is not an overly calorie laden dish either which makes it good for us.
I use non fat Greek yogurt sometimes and alternative sweetners.

Besides this to make something that connects us with our German heritage
that they call Wakelpudding puts a smile on your face.

Measure out 2 teaspoons of gelatin, or 1 packet of knox gelatin and 1/4 cup of cool water.

Add the gelatin and whisk it in till it dissolves or starts to bloom. If you don't mix well it will clump.


 

Measure out 1 cup of quark or Greek yogurt and blend in the sugar or honey, vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of the bloomed gelatin mix.

Pour or spoon it into your serving vessel and chill till firm enough to be dry to the touch of your finger, about 15 to 20 min.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of gelatin mix to 1 cup of the Rote Grütze, then spoon on top of the chilled quark or yogurt cream and chill till set.

To serve top with whipped cream if you want.
