Chriesisturm
Stewed cherries topped with crispy, buttery bread.
Hi, I'm Andie.
I live near the Swiss Alps, in Bern, and I love not only melting cheese, but all kinds of Swiss cooking.

Stewed cherries topped with crispy, buttery bread.
The perfect vehicle for glorious Swiss fruit.
The Basler Kirschenbrottorte is just what the German describes—cherry bread cake from Basel. It's basically a big bread pudding, chock full of cherries.
Of course the best kirsch should be drunk alone, however there are a wealth of drinks, like this Kirsch Sour, that could be made with less exclusive varieties (I know everyone who has ever made cheese fondue has a bottle in their liquor cabinet).
This cherry dish is the oldest surviving cherry recipe from the canton of Zug, and was first published in the late 18th century.
This version of the classic cake uses fresh cherries, and swaps out the whipped cream centre for a chocolate based filling.
