Kirschenmichel

Kirschenmichel is a buttery German bread pudding enriched with sweet cherries. A common dessert in southern Germany, this sweet treat is typically flavored with cinnamon, cloves, Kirsch liqueur, vanilla extract, or almond extract. Moist and sweet, this bread pudding can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled. It is usually dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by vanilla custard, whipped cream, or ice cream. Kirschenmichel is generally consumed as a simple after-lunch dessert, but it is sometimes eaten for lunch as well.
