Ingredients
Low calorie cooking spray
10 ginger biscuits
3 egg whites
4 tsp powdered gelatine
450g quark

2. Spray a 20cm spring clip cake tin with low calorie cooking spray and line with baking parchment.
3. Put the biscuits in a polythene bag and crush with a rolling pin.
4. In a bowl, lightly beat 1 egg white, add the biscuit crumbs and mix well. Press evenly over the base of the cake tin and bake for 15 minutes or until firm and golden. Leave to cool.
