Specialties & Unique Treats
German desserts, as shown above, aren’t quite like the ones you’ll find elsewhere. Growing up, our cakes weren’t overly sweet — they didn’t need to be. A slice of apple cake or a buttery streusel had just enough sugar to make it special, not so much that we’d need a nap afterward.
Desserts were meant to be enjoyed slowly, with a good cup of coffee (or tea). We do love our afternoon Kaffee und Kuchen break time. It’s practically a national hobby. And, of course, there's Kaffeeklatsch ... the getting together over Kaffee und Kuchen and spending time gossiping … klatsching!
For hubby and I, 3 o'clock is when we take our break. Every day, when possible. While others might grab dessert on the go, we slow down, sit together, and savor our time with each other. Add in some quark (as in a cheesecake), a few seasonal fruits, and we've got a real German treat. It's tradition, it's comfort, and honestly ... it's just better. (But I may be a little biased.)
I recall sitting at the table with Mutti and my sisters, sharing memories and enjoying the blitz torte that she had baked. And while American sweets certainly have their charm, I’ll always reach for the ones that remind me of home: simple, seasonal, made from the heart ... and filled with sweet memories.
(Have you joined my Kaffeeklatsch yet?)
My German fruit flan is a light, refreshing dessert that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
With a soft sponge base, creamy filling, and colorful fresh fruit on top, it’s perfect for any occasion -- from everyday treats to special celebrations.
Try this out and enjoy a slice of fruity German delight!
Tschüss,
