Place quark, yogurt, mint liqueur and gelatine in a blender and run until smooth.  Pour into a bowl and chill until just before it sets.  Whisk the egg white until stiff.  Add the spenda and whisk again.  Fold into the mint mixture and pour over the sponge base.  Chill until set.


Just before serving, top with the crushed flake.
