Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Egg yolks — Make sure to separate the egg yolks carefully from the whites to avoid any traces of egg white in the mixture, as it can affect the texture of the Kogel Mogel.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the honey or sugar with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Experiment with different flavor variations by adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the mixture.
  • Serve the Kogel Mogel with a sprinkle of crushed nuts or grated chocolate for added texture and visual appeal.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can use a combination of egg yolks and whole eggs.
  • To make it more festive, serve the Kogel Mogel in small dessert glasses and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Serving advice

Serve the chilled Kogel Mogel in individual dessert bowls or small jars. It can be enjoyed as a standalone dessert or paired with a biscuit or wafer for dipping.

Presentation advice

For an elegant presentation, garnish each serving of Kogel Mogel with a fresh mint leaf or a drizzle of honey. You can also serve it in vintage-style dessert glasses for a touch of nostalgia.
