If you're a fan of cheesecake and strawberries, then you're in for a real treat with this delicious recipe!

To make this mouth-watering dessert, you'll need a few key ingredients, including butter, sugar, vanilla pods, eggs, lemon juice, cream cheese, Quark, cornstarch, baking powder, and blackcurrant jam.

To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with butter.

Then, in a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (100 grams) of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Next, add in 1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 grams) of unsalted butter that has been softened at room temperature and mix everything together until a dough forms.

Once the dough is ready, press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and let the crust cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

To make the cheesecake filling, beat 2 packages (16 ounces or 450 grams each) of cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until it becomes smooth and creamy. Then, add in 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Mix everything together until it becomes well combined.

Next, add in 1/2 cup (120 grams) of Quark and mix again until it becomes smooth.

Then, add in 3 large eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition.

Finally, add in 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and mix everything together until the filling is smooth and creamy.

Once the filling is ready, pour it over the cooled crust in the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula.

Then, spoon 1/2 cup (125 ml) of blackcurrant jam onto the top of the cheesecake filling and swirl it around to create a marbled effect.

Finally, bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Once the cheesecake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Once it has cooled, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

When you're ready to serve, slice the cheesecake into individual portions and top each slice with fresh strawberries for a delicious and beautiful presentation. Enjoy!
