Anyone that enjoys classic cuisine but still enjoys trying something new, should taste this delicious vanilla strudel enhanced with Californian prunes!
60g butter
10 sheets of strudel or filo pastry (each sheet 30 x 31 cm, 250 g)
200 g low-fat curd cheese (quark)
2 eggs (medium)
25 g sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 1/2 level tbsp vanilla-flavour pudding powder
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon zest

1 tbsp icing sugar
Tip: How to make your own strudel pastry: Mix 250 g flour, 1/2 level tsp salt, 125 luke warm water, 1 tbsp butter and 1 egg into a smooth dough. Dust with flour and wrap in cling film and then allow to rest for about 1 hour. Dust a large tea towel thinly with flour. Roll out the dough as thinly as possible into a square shape (approx. 50 x 50 cm), cut the dough into quarters. Melt 80 g butter. On the baking tray, pull out one quarter of the dough with your hands (approx. 30 x 40 cm) and brush with butter. Do the same with the other quarters of the dough and lay on top of each other. Roll up the edges about 2-3 cm and finally brush with butter.
