Kirschenmichel: Baked cherry pudding.
Kirschenmichel is a traditional German dessert known as a baked cherry pudding. It is a warm, comforting dish that features sweet, juicy cherries enveloped in a tender, lightly sweetened batter. To create this dish, ripe cherries are layered in a baking dish and covered with a batter made from ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and a touch of vanilla or almond extract for added depth of flavor. The pudding is then baked until golden brown and set. Kirschenmichel is often dusted with powdered sugar before serving and can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla sauce for extra indulgence. It's a perfect treat to serve during cherry season or as a heartwarming dessert on a chilly evening.

Introduction:
This delightful Cherry Bread Pudding is a perfect dessert that combines the texture of soft, soaked bread with the sweetness of fresh cherries. It's an easy-to-make treat that's sure to please the palate and is ideal for using up leftover bread. Let's embark on this sweet journey, brought to you by the kitchen of NatuerlichLecker.
Ingredients:
- 4 large, day-old bread rolls (can substitute with brioche or white bread)
- 2 cups of fresh cherries, pitted (or thawed if using frozen)
- 1 cup of lukewarm milk
- 3 large eggs, whites and yolks separated
- 1/2 cup of caster sugar
- 1/4 cup of vanilla sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon, washed and grated
- 1/4 cup of margarine (or room-temperature butter)
- A pinch of salt
- Butter flakes, for topping
- A dash of cinnamon, for topping (optional)
- 2 tablespoons of almond flakes, for garnish (optional)
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 43 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 3 minutes
Equipment:
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Oven-safe baking dish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. Cube or slice the bread into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Pour the lukewarm milk over the bread, allowing the pieces to soak and soften. Set aside for the bread to absorb the milk.
4. Separate the eggs, placing the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
5. To the yolks, add the caster sugar, vanilla sugar, and lemon zest. Whisk until the mixture becomes frothy. Add the margarine (or butter) and incorporate well. Gently fold in the soaked bread pieces and the cherries, keeping some of the cherry juices in the mixture.
6. In a separate bowl, use a clean whisk to beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks. This will add lightness to the pudding.
7. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the bread and cherry mixture, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.
8. Transfer the combined mixture into the greased baking dish. Dot the top with butter flakes and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
9. Sprinkle the almond flakes on top for a bit of crunch and additional flavor.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 43 minutes, or until the pudding is puffed up and golden, with the almonds toasted to a lovely color.
11. Serve the Cherry Bread Pudding warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Cooking Tips:
- If using frozen cherries, ensure they are fully thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture in the pudding.
- Adjust the sugar level to your taste, especially if your cherries are particularly sweet or tart.
