My life’s journey took me to Austria, where I discovered a deep appreciation for the art of strudel-making.

Living in Austria

This Wild Blueberry Strudel with Quark recipe is a game-changer! It allows you to make a delicious strudel that tastes like it came straight out of a fancy bakery. The dough is flaky and tender, wrapped around a dreamy filling of cream cheese and juicy wild blueberries. And for that extra touch of sweetness, just a sprinkling of icing sugar will do the trick.

Ingredients

Dough
300g flour
100g melted butter
100ml warm water
Pinch of salt
Filling
250g Quark or curd cheese
500g Wild Blueberry
80g-120g powdered sugar (adjust according to your desired sweetness)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted butter and warm water. Stir the mixture until a dough starts to form. Shape the dough into a ball.
Boil water and add it to a bowl to heat it up. Wipe the bowl with excess water and place the dough inside the warm bowl to rest for 30 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine the Quark, eggs, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the wild blueberries and mix everything together until well combined. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has rested, transfer it onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangular shape, aiming for a thickness of about 2-3mm.
Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll up the dough from one side, like a jelly roll, tucking in the edges as you go. Place the rolled strudel onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Bake the strudel in the preheated oven for approximately 40-45 minutes or until it turns golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the strudel from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Optionally, dust the strudel with some powdered sugar before serving. You can enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
Serve the wild blueberry strudel with Quark with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful pairing. Alternatively, enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee.

Additionally, feel free to adjust the amount of powdered sugar according to your desired level of sweetness. I taste the fill before I roll it into a Strudel.
You can also add any berries you like instead of the blueberries. Everything else stays the same. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavours, this dough will handle a lot of different fillings.
