There are presently only a handful of bakers who still use the traditional recipes and techniques Jiri, owner of Sacramento Cookie Company adheres to in creating this scrumptious treat. Each crisp, light wafer is lovingly hand made then baked, aged twelve days, carefully filled with all natural filling and baked once again. Jiri still employs traditional hands on baking methods, opposed to mass production. These delicious treats are the perfect gift for all the wine lovers on your holiday shopping list! Try this wonderful Old World recipe next time you are looking for a special dessert to serve your guests:
Pischinger Torte
This is the most popular dessert in Viennese Café’s.
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 3/4 cup warm whipping cream
- 1 lb. good milk chocolate

Mix whipping cream, ground nuts, and melted chocolate. Spread 3 tablespoons of mixture across first wafer. Put another wafer on the side. Add the spread. Place it on top of the first.
