Preparation

In a bowl, mix butter, crushed cookies and pecans. Spread on bottom of a 4 X 10 in (or 5 X 9 in) rectangular pan lined with plastic wrap and press down firmly with a spatula. Set aside.

In a bowl, mix the yogourt, Quark cheese, sugar and lemon rind until the texture is homogenous.

In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatine over half the milk (cold), then stir in with a fork. Add the remaining milk very hot and mix until the gelatine is dissolved.

Add the gelatine mixture to the yogurt and mix well. Pour half the mixture into the pan then layer half the raspberries. Cover with the rest of the mixture and garnish with the remaining raspberries. Refrigerate at least 3 heures.
