sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Pick fresh blueberries from the forest.

Make whipped cream by combining 2 deciliters of cream, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar, then whip until fluffy.

Combine 4 deciliters of whipped cream with 4 deciliters of quark, folding them together gently.

Puree about 2/3 of the blueberries, leaving some in large chunks, and fold this into the quark and whipped cream mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of talcuna flour to the mixture and fold it in, ensuring everything is well combined.

Thaw ready-made puff pastry sheets for a few minutes.

Cut the thawed puff pastry into long strips and then cut across to create pieces.

Spread the blueberry mixture (mustica pepper) onto the pastry sheets, leaving a lip around the edges.

Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle a few blueberries on top as garnish.

Bake in a preheated oven at 225 Celsius (about 450 Fahrenheit) for about 10 minutes, keeping an eye on them until they are brown.
