Raspberries and Blueberries — Wash them gently before using and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture in the dessert.

Experiment with different combinations of fruits based on what is in season.
To make it more indulgent, serve the quarkspeise with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
If you don't have quark, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt for a slightly tangier flavor.
