Quark or Fat Free Fromage Frais Alternative?

[carlalouise]

Hi, I'm desperate to make some of the cakes on here, but the problem is I'm now living in Thailand and can't get hold of quark, fat free fromage frais, 0% greek yogurt or fry light. Does anyone have any suggestions of a replacement for these products?

Would tofu cheese (bean curd cheese) work as a substitute if you blended it in a food processor?

Alternatively, if you can get hold of skimmed (or semi skimmed) milk you could make your own cottage cheese and blend it in a food processor until it's smooth curd cheese (which is what Quark is) ... The milk would have to be pasteurised though - it doesn't work with UHT or homogenised (which I know may be a problem - Asian cultures aren't big on dairy).

Anyway - if you can get hold of it, here is the method Cottage Cheese - Making Your Own Cottage or Curd Cheese at Home

Thank you! Next time I go the supermarket I will see if they have the milk.

If the milk isn't being used as your Hex(A) will the cheese have to be synned?
