Yes, this is certainly not the first strudel recipe in the kitchen, and they are all somewhat similar. But I decided to share my recipe, which I have been cooking for many years!
There are a lot of strudels on the site, but I found only one with chocolate, and it doesn’t look like mine, so I add my own, in case someone likes it. And strudel is an excellent dish, suitable for freezing and subsequent fast cooking, really does not require defrosting.
Strudel for me is always autumn. Hot chocolate, vanilla ice cream, caramel apples and extra pounds by summer. In this recipe I combined a lot of filling, light cottage cheese, a minimum of dough and a good mood! Welcome!
