Germany is an exciting country with some incredible cities and stunning landscapes. It’s also a country that loves good food, and in particular sweet treats seem to stand out. Whether you’re planning a trip to Germany or feel like getting creative in the kitchen with some fun new recipes, here are some of the best German sweet treats that you have to try.

Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte

This traditional treat may be better known as Black Forest Gateau and is one of Germany’s most iconic desserts. This sweet treat consists of chocolate cake, sour cherries, whipped cream, and kirsch liqueur. It’s sweet, tart, and boozy, and is perfect washed down with coffee.

Bienenstich

This delightful dessert name can be translated to Bee Sting Cake and is the most delicious combination of ingredients. Sweet yeast cake layers are separated by a cream center and topped with honey-flavored caramelized almonds. As well as a burst of incredible tastes, this cake offers an enticing range of textures. 

Käsekuchen

This dish may be known as German Cheesecake and differs greatly from what many people may expect from a cheesecake. It’s made from quark, which is a kind of cheese, and has either a shortcrust pastry crust or no crust at all.
