How to Make Westflische Gtterspeise Westfalian Ambrosia

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
  2. In a bowl, gently toss the cubed pumpernickel bread with 2 tbsp of milk, ensuring all pieces are lightly moistened.
  3. Spread the moistened pumpernickel evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted and crisp.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. In another bowl, gently mix the quark (or cream cheese), vanilla extract, and remaining sugar until smooth.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the curd mixture until just combined. Be gentle not to deflate the cream.
  7. Layer half of the pumpernickel bread in a serving dish or individual glasses.
  8. Spread half of the curd mixture over the bread.
  9. Repeat the layers with the remaining pumpernickel and curd mixture.
  10. Refrigerate the Westfälische Götterspeise for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  11. Garnish with fresh berries or fruit before serving, if desired.
