Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (170 °C with a fan-assisted function) and grease the bottom of a 26cm springform pan.
  2. Whip the egg whites with half of the sugar until stiff peaks form. Then, whisk the yolks with the remaining sugar and vanilla sugar until they are pale and thick.
  3. Gently fold in the egg whites, then the sifted flour and cornstarch. ≈ 4 min
  4. Spread the dough in the pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes; let it cool.
  5. Soak the gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes.
  6. Peel the peaches: cut one half into quarters and the other into small pieces. ≈ 8 min
  7. Whisk together the sugar, vanilla sugar, vanilla seeds, quark, yogurt, and salt until the mixture is smooth. ≈ 4 min
  8. Melt the strained gelatin over very low heat with 10 tablespoons of this cream, stirring quickly. Remove from heat as soon as it begins to bubble, and stir until dissolved.
  9. Pour, add the lemon juice, and mix well. ≈ 4 min
  10. Distribute the peach-flavored candies evenly over the biscuit, pour the mousse, smooth it out, and decorate with peach slices. ≈ 2 min
  11. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
