For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!

There is no cooking required in this recipe so it’s perfect for a quick mid-week dessert or as an indulgent brunch.

This recipe combines sweet, creamy and crunchy for a truly delicious dessert. We have used cornflakes for our crunch but you could use something other than cornflakes in this recipe…maybe crush up an Alpen Light bar!

Whatever you use, it’s better to assemble it when you’re ready to eat so that the cereal layer doesn’t go too soggy.

    Hi Jeanette, you don’t have to use quark if you’d prefer not to. Just using yogurt would be fine.Hope you enjoy making this recipe.
