Substitutes for Quark in gelato
Quark is a soft, unripened fresh cheese made by acid (lactic) coagulation of milk, then draining most of the whey. In gelato it is a high-protein, tangy fresh-cheese base (about 10% fat, 9-10% protein, ~24% total solids) used for cheesecake-style and fresh, lactic-note flavors. If you're out of quark or need a different profile, these are the closest functional swaps — ranked by how similar they are on the balancing numbers, with the impact of each swap.
