A brief history of strudel
Strudel is a dessert with deep roots in culinary traditions, known for its thin pastry filled with fruits, cheese, or nuts. Over time, recipes have evolved, and today we have the opportunity to enjoy more innovative variations. Liquid strudel brings a fresh breath into this context, transforming classic ingredients into a creamy and comforting delicacy.
Necessary ingredients
- 1/2 Golden apple
- 1/2 pear
- 30 g butter
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 100 g whipped cream ice cream
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- A pinch of cinnamon
- 4 ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon raisins (soaked and drained)
Preparing the liquid strudel: essential steps
1. Preparing the fruits
Start by peeling the apple and pear. Cut them into small cubes so they cook evenly. This is an important step, as larger cubes may require a longer cooking time.
2. Sautéing the fruits
In a pan, add the 30 g of butter and let it melt over medium heat. Add the apple and pear cubes and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring gently to coat them evenly with butter.
3. Caramelizing
Once the fruits have softened, add 1 tablespoon of honey and mix well. Let them cook for another 7-8 minutes, until the honey caramelizes and forms a delicious syrup. Finally, sprinkle cinnamon and mix to enhance the flavor.
4. Cooling the mixture
Transfer the caramelized fruit mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely. This step is essential, as the ice cream will melt if the mixture is too hot.
5. Preparing the liquid strudel
Once the fruit mixture has cooled, add 100 g of whipped cream ice cream, 4 ice cubes, toasted pine nuts, and raisins. Blend everything in a blender or with a Philips hand mixer for 1 minute, until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If you prefer a less dense liquid, you can add a few tablespoons of milk.
6. Serving
Pour the liquid strudel into glasses, filling them almost to the rim. You can add a touch of elegance with cocoa powder or powdered sugar on top. This dessert is served cold, making it perfect for enjoying on warm days.
Serving suggestions and variations
Liquid strudel can be customized according to your preferences. For example, you can replace the apple and pear with other fruits like peaches or cherries. Additionally, you can add a splash of vanilla or lemon essence to enhance the flavors. If you enjoy crunchy notes, try adding some crushed nuts as well.
Nutritional benefits
This recipe is not only delicious but also packed with benefits. Apples and pears provide a significant amount of vitamins and fiber, while pine nuts are an excellent source of protein and healthy fats. Plus, whipped cream ice cream adds a creamy and refreshing taste, perfect for enjoying a healthy dessert.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use frozen fruits?
Yes, you can use frozen fruits, but make sure to let them thaw completely and remove excess water before sautéing.

Liquid strudel pairs wonderfully with crunchy cookies or a fruit tart. Additionally, a refreshing drink like fruit tea or a lemon cocktail would perfectly complement this delicacy.
In conclusion, liquid strudel is more than just a recipe; it is a culinary experience that will make you feel like a true chef in your own kitchen. I wish you much success and enjoy experimenting with this delicious dessert!
