Granulated sweetenerTo taste

Method

Put the quark in a bowl with the cocoa, vanilla and a pinch of sweetener and beat hard with a fork for a full minute. It goes from grainy to glossy and you will see the change.
Halve the cherries and pull out the stones with the tip of a knife.
Spoon the cocoa quark into a small pot, sit the cherries on top cut side up and leave it ten minutes in the fridge if you have the time. The cocoa softens.

Worth knowing

Quark is the sourest of the fresh cheeses. The cocoa and vanilla turn that into something closer to dark chocolate, but without sweetener the first spoon is a shock. Add it a pinch at a time.
Frozen cherries work out of season. Let them thaw in the bowl so the juice runs into the quark.
