A very traditional and extremely delicious Austro-Hungarian dessert, that goes back quite some time. As i couldn’t find it on food.com i decided to post my version in here. I hope you’ll enjoy it! If you can’t get hold of curd you might as well use Ricotta, or a mixture of half Ricotta – half Cream-Cheese. Using low cal products is absolutely fine, but remember: the higher the fat content, the more flavour you usually get :). I converted the European measurements to their US equivalents, but don’t hesitate to experiment and decide for yourselves, whether you like it a hint sweeter, thinner, … etc.
This is my grandmother’s recipe. She grew up in Austria, moving to the United States when she married. She always served these with roast beef and gravy.

Submitted for Zaar World Tour 2005. I LOVE chestnuts. On the streets of New York City during the winter vendors roast them on the street and you can buy warm and fragrant little bags of them to keep your hands warm and tummy full while window shopping. Fond memories of Christmas in New York, but this particular recipe is a Christmas in Austria recipe (from a cookbook of countries along the Danube). You can serve them with crown roast of pork (I wouldn’t, but then I’m a vegetarian). Have not tried this recipe yet.
Enjoy a flavored coffee while you watch your weight. This mix is significantly cheaper than the equivalent ready-made product.
