I decided to try it without having any expectations and we were all very pleasantly surprised. This Russian cheesecake is perfect to have with either coffee, tea or hot chocolate for a morning or afternoon snack. All our guests are always wanting at least one extra piece, although this dessert is quite heavy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Russian-Quark-Cake.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4726\" title=\"Russian Quark Cake\" src=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Russian-Quark-Cake.png\" alt=\"Russian Quark Cake\" width=\"599\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Russian-Quark-Cake-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Russian-Quark-Cake-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Russian-Quark-Cake-450x299.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Russian-Quark-Cake.png 3649w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!-- Start GADSWPV-3.9 --><div id=\"ga_os_10859895\" style=\"text-align: center; overflow: visible; visibility: visible;\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n     apntag.anq.push(function() {\r\n        apntag.showTag('ga_os_10859895');\r\n        });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br><!-- End GADSWPV-3.9 --><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Depending on how you cut the cake you can get between 12 and 18 pieces.
