A perfect German Christmas menu ends with a dessert that is including holiday spices, and which will end the menu perfectly. One of such desserts is the German Spekulatius Mandarine Dessert. The spiced cookies are available at Aldi, Lidl, German specialty stores or at the World Market. You also need quark for making the cream. If you have a shop nearby that sells quark, you are lucky. If not you can make it from scratch (see link below) or substitute it. Happy Cooking!
