Salzburger Nockerl

Salzburger Nockerl is Salzburg's celebrated sweet soufflé, traditionally shaped into mountain-like peaks. This profile follows the concise Austrian tourism version without adding the berry sauce used in another documented Salzburg rendition.

Eggs give the dessert its gentle custardy richness, while sugar and vanilla sugar make it plainly sweet and fragrant. A small amount of flour steadies the foam, and butter adds a richer baked edge where the mixture touches the dish.

The dessert arrives as several tall, softly rounded golden peaks under a veil of icing sugar. Its exterior is lightly set, while the interior remains airy, moist and delicate enough to collapse if held too long.
