In Switzerland we call it Vermicelles, it’s made out of cooked and pureed chestnuts, served with whipped cream and meringues (no idea how to translate this, it’s baked egg-whites with sugar). It’s a typical autumn dessert.
Looking it up it’s seemingly known as Mont Blanc abroad, though i’ve never heard it called that here.
Meringue is universal. Northern Europe eats sweet chestnuts but I have never seen chestnut desserts in North America.
Last week I made a Basque Burnt Cheesecake and it could easily become one of my favourite cold-days dessert.
Oh boy, I was about to answer “Gobi desert” and then looked up something more European like the “Monogros desert” just to say: I stick with waffles 🧇 , powder sugar, hot cherries 🍒, cream and vanilla ice cream 🍦.
Potica. Anytime of the year. Either wallmut or taragon.
Stuck. It’s from Berchtesgaden in Germany and is only made in autumn. I like it best just with butter.
