What is schaumrollen?

Schaumrollen are a traditional Austrian pastry typically eaten during Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations. The pastry consists of rolled-up cones of crispy, flaky pastry called Puff pastry, which are baked until golden brown and then filled with sweetened whipped cream or marshmallow-like meringue called "Schaum" in German. The cones are typically 2-3 inches in diameter and can be dusted with icing sugar or drizzled with chocolate for extra sweetness. Schaumrollen are commonly found in Austria, Germany, and other central European countries, and were first introduced by the Viennese dessert chef Anton Revertera in the mid-19th century. They are a popular treat during the holiday season and can be found in Christmas markets and bakeries throughout Europe.
