Westphalian jelly is a dessert of Westphalian cuisine made from a creamy cream and pumpernickel . Depending on the recipe, additional ingredients can be added or the basic ingredients can vary, with the pumpernickel remaining as a central component of the dish.

The only thing that this dish has in common with the jelly-like jelly is its name. A similar dish is the veiled peasant girl of the north German kitchen.

preparation

The classic Westphalian jelly is made from pumpernickel , whipped cream , quark and vanilla sugar as well as a fruit preparation such as cranberry compote or thickened sour cherries . The cream is whipped until stiff and mixed with the quark and vanilla sugar to make a cream. The pumpernickel is crumbled, then it is layered with the cream and the fruit and finally garnished with the fruit mass. The Pumpernickelbrösel can with a little rum or kirsch drizzled with dark chocolate are mixed.

In addition to this recipe, there are numerous other preparations in which, however, pumpernickel and a cream cream are always used. The pumpernickel can also be mixed with hazelnuts and caramelized , and a meringue can be added as an additional layer .
