What an unusual, different dessert--we loved it!! Used a mixture of fresh and frozen berries (they were a bit tart, so I sprinkled a little sugar on them), real German pumpernickel, and opted for the Kirschwasser (I added some to the Chantilly whipped cream as well as to the pumpernickel-chocolate mixture, and so glad I did!). Delicious! The yogurt and whipped cream combination was ingenius -- why didn't I think of that. Not an uber-sweet dessert, and one which my diabetic DH didn't feel too guilty eating. Can't wait to make the Blushing Maid again for family and friends, I think this would be especially great following a German style dinner. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us, Mia in Germany! Made for More Than Sauerkraut & Dumplings in the German Forum. Cheers! Becky
