Kogel mogel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Kogel Mogel is an egg-based homemade dessert popular in Poland. It is one of the simplest desserts to prepare and is relatively low-fat and healthy. In its classic form it is served slightly chilled or at room temperature. Its origins go back to 17th-century Yiddish communities in Central Europe. The dish consists of raw egg yolks beat until they form a foamy texture; a variety of sweeteners are then added. A classic single Kogel Mogel portion is made from two egg yolks and three teaspoons of sugar beat into a cream-like dish. Variations can be made by adding chocolate, rum, honey, raisins, whipped cream, or a number of other ingredients based on one's own taste preferences. The dessert was made popular during the communist era when sweets were expensive in Poland. It is still eaten in Poland and Polish communities around the world.
