30g Dutch cocoa

Using a serrated knife, cut 18 slices of ginger bread about 5 mm thick.Place the quark and cocoa in a bowl and beat until combined. Add the 3 egg yolks and half the sugar and beat until smooth.
Place the egg whites in a bowl with the cream of tartar and beat into stiff peaks. Add the remaining caster sugar and continue beating until smooth.
Mix a little of the beaten egg whites into the cocoa mixture, then gently fold in remaining egg whites and mix until just combined.
Place 6 slices of ginger bread on a large dish. Top each with 1 tbsp of cocoa mousse, then with a second slice of ginger bread. Add another spoonful of mousse and finish with a slice of ginger bread. Spread a little extra mousse on the sides of the small cakes and dust the top with icing sugar. (You will have mousse leftover.) Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Garnish each slice with 2 orange sticks.

Kebabs
To achieve the best results when making kebabs, 'beat' the minced meat mixture well with your hand until it is a smooth paste. This not only combines the ingredients but also makes it easier to shape and stops them falling apart.
