Heat the mixture to 84 degrees. Next, add the mascarpone, the Yopol and the soaked gelatine. Pass the mixture through a sieve and pour into the desired moulds. Allow the mixture to set in the freezer. Turn out the crémeux and set aside to thaw.

Quark mousse

Soak the gelatine. Beat the cream, but stop before peaks start to form. Heat the egg white and egg yolk until the mixture starts to set. Heat the elderflower juice and add the soaked gelatine.
