Ingredients:  
2 eggs
3 ounces sugar
1 cup ground almond
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 whole oranges -- for shaping

1 egg, separated
2 tablespoons apricot jelly
4 tablespoons grated dark chocolate
1 liqueur glass apricot liqueur
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 ounces confectioner' s sugar
1 cup Quark
Directions:
Directions:
To make the pastry flowers, cream eggs and sugar together until light and
frothy. Mix in the ground almonds with the flour and work in 2 tablespoons
of the butter. Use the remainder of the butter to grease 2 baking sheets.
Place spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheets and spread out into 6 inch
circles. Bake at a medium heat (180C/350F) until light brown. While still
hot, remove from the baking sheets with the help of a spatula and place
each one over an orange (or similar object). Gently pull into flower
shapes. Leave for a few minutes to harden, then lift from the oranges. To
make the chocolate Quark, mix the egg yolk with the apricot jelly, the
grated chocolate, and the liqueur in a large bowl. Whisk the cream until
thick. Whisk the egg white until stiff, then whisk in the confectioner' s
sugar. Fold the cream, the egg white, and the liqueur mixture into the
Quark. Spoon the whole mixture into the pastry flowers

Some interesting variations: Lacking Quark, I have substituted it with 1
cup of ricotta cheese...the effect is somewhat different, but still
delicious. Additionally, instead of using ground almonds, I prefer to use
ground hazelnuts to make the pastry shells. Substituting Frangelico
(hazelnut liqueur) for the apricot liqueur works particularly well in this
case.
