1-First Step: Prepare the strawberries Wash the strawberries well, remove the green tops, and cut them into small slices. Put them in a bowl and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Stir gently so the fruit becomes glossy and slightly juicy. Let them rest for about 5 to 10 minutes while you prepare the cream layer.

2-Second Step: Make the cookie base Crush the 80 g butter cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a rolling pin, a food processor, or the bottom of a glass. Mix the crumbs with 50 g soft butter until the mixture feels slightly damp and holds together when pressed. This gives the dessert a firm bottom layer that does not fall apart too quickly.

3-Third Step: Mix the cream filling Pour the 200 g cream into a bowl and whip it until it starts to thicken. Add the 50 g sugar and 1 packet vanilla sugar, then continue whipping until soft peaks form. In another bowl, stir the 250 g low-fat quark until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the quark slowly so the filling stays light and airy.

4-Fourth Step: Check the texture Taste the cream mixture and adjust if needed. If your strawberries are very sweet, you may want to keep the cream layer slightly less sweet. If the berries are more tart, the full sugar amount works well. This simple taste check helps balance the whole Erdbeer Butterkeks Dessert Im Glas.

5-Fifth Step: Build the layers in glasses Take 6 dessert glasses and spoon in a layer of the cookie mixture. Press it down gently so it forms a base. Add a layer of strawberry slices, then spoon in the quark cream. Repeat the layers if your glasses are tall enough. Finish with strawberries on top for a fresh look.

6-Sixth Step: Chill before serving Cover the glasses and place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. If you have more time, chill them for 2 hours. The flavors blend nicely, and the texture gets better as the layers settle. This is also helpful if you want to serve the dessert at a party or pack it for later.

7-Seventh Step: Serve and enjoy Before serving, add a few extra strawberry slices or a small cookie piece on top for a pretty finish. Serve the dessert cold with a spoon. It tastes best when the cookie layer is still a little firm and the fruit is fresh.
