German Dessert Recipes

Willkommen! Enjoy Traditional German Recipes For Making Dessert

German dessert recipes are prized for making scrumptiously delicious desserts. The extravagance in the ingredients sometimes called for in the recipes is balanced by their wholesomeness and delicious taste. And, calorie counting is not permitted folks; these are treats meant to be enjoyed!

The recipes featured on this page will help us to appreciate the rich and wonderful history of German baking. Bordering on nine countries, Germany's position in the heart of Europe has influenced their cooking, helping to create the great diversity of classic dessert dishes for which they are famous.



Since German meals tend to be bountiful feasts, desserts served are often lighter fare such as cream puddings, custards, or a fresh fruit dish. At "Kaffee" (coffee time), however, traditional Kuchen (cake), pies, tortes, and cookies are brought out to be enjoyed.

Traditional German recipes are given for Kuchen (cake), a staple of German cuisine, plus German cookie recipes, pie recipes, and a collection of classic German Christmas recipes suitable for any festive occasion. These old fashioned recipes for dessert are a testimony to the richness of German desserts.

There's lots of old fashioned recipes to try. Just follow the links.

"Essen und Trinken halten Leib und Seel zusammen" is an old German saying which means, "Food and drink keep body and soul together."

German Children's Blessing For Mealtime

Jedes Tierlein hat sein Fressen,
Jede Blume trinkt von Dir,
Lass auch uns Dich nicht vergessen,
Lieber Gott wir danken Dir.

Translation:

Every animal is given food,
Each flower gets a drink,
Don't let us forget Thee either,
Dear Lord, we thank thee.
