Without putting too much strain on the calorie account, the strips of choux pastry, which are based on French eclairs or love bones, sweeten the afternoon. The secret is a low-fat quark filling plus delicious, low-calorie berries.

 

Almost everyone likes raspberries - but if you feel like other berries, go ahead: the delicate strips of dough also taste great with currants, strawberries or a berry mix.

Instead of butter, could I use another ingredient to replace it? (covid-19 quarantined situation)
Cyndy from EAT SMARTER's picture
Thanks for your question. Quarantine is requiring us all to be creative. You could try replacing the butter with shortening. Be aware that butter has more water so you may need to add a bit of water. Also, the flavor will be altered, as shortening has no flavor. Good Luck!
