Hot desserts for combining
Hot apple kuchen with vanilla ice cream
Heat kuchen, preferably in conventional oven so the crust will remain crispy, during 7 minutes if it is a 6 - 8 portion kuchen or 14 minute is it is a 10 – 12 portion kuchen. (In microwave oven heat the first for 3 minutes, and the latter for 8 minutes). Set aside. Spread three tablespoons full of raspberry sauce over the plate, cut a portion of kuchen, and put it on top of the sauce. Add a side portion of delicious "El Ingenio" vanilla ice cream sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.
Important: the kuchen must be served hot. We recommend only heating the portions you are going to serve to avoid the rest of the kuchen from drying out.
