More Desserts That Are Perfect for Fall German Cheesecake is not as dense as American cheesecake because it is quark instead of cream-cheese-based. But quark is expensive and hard to get in North America, that’s why I use Greek yogurt instead and the result is the same – light and fluffy but still creamy!

Like many German cakes, my cheesecake bars taste best on the second day which makes this recipe perfect to make ahead.

In Germany, cheesecake is made with quark, but Greek yogurt is a great substitute in my experience and gives the same texture and consistency without having to strain it. But you could also use Quark if you don’t mind the price.

Add the Pumpkin: gently layer the pumpkin mixture over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it as well.

The hardest part — wait and cool thoroughly before slicing! I like to leave mine overnight in the refrigerator.

Place the parchment on a cutting board and slice into squares. Cheesecake bars are very rich, so I like to cut them into small, bite-size pieces (about 16 bars per batch). Storage
