Good to know

This cream is uncomplicated and still really delicate. Fresh, creamy and with a bit of crunch on top. Just the kind of dessert that's a treat without much effort.

Swaps

Hazelnuts → walnuts (contain omega-3 fatty acids); yacon syrup → date paste (natural sweetness and a few minerals); mandarins → berries (also contain fibre, often a little less sweet); low-fat quark → skyr (similar protein content, often a little milder in flavour).

Allergens

Contains milk and tree nuts (hazelnuts). Generally suitable for children – chop the nuts finely or leave them out, depending on age; in pregnancy the recipe is fine with fresh ingredients handled hygienically.
