Prussian Dessert

I have this 200 year old German cookery book which I inherited from my grandma. In gothic script, it tells you some very strange recipes and advice. The most bizarre one so far is the ‘Prussian Dessert’. To make this cold pudding you will need:

1 slice of coarse brown rye bread

1 dash of bitter beer

1 dash of cream (single, double or whipping cream)

sugar, cinnamon

Crumble the bread into a dessert bowl, pour a bit of bitter beer over it and a bit of cream. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

This should definitely take you back in time! Unfortunately, I am allergic to alcohol, so I have not tried it. If you feel inspired to do so, please let me know about your taste experience… In the meantime, I might make a non-alcoholic version with supermalt!
