The story the reviews tell

Milk-cream strudel is a Viennese pastry that carries the warmth of the Austro-Hungarian kitchen into every bite. Tender dough wraps around a custard-like filling studded with milk-soaked bread, quark, raisins, and bright notes of vanilla and lemon—each element softening and merging in the oven's heat. It arrives at the table in its baking pan, cloaked in hot vanilla sauce that soaks into the pastry's folds.

What makes this version distinct

It is an oven-baked pastry dough stuffed with a filling made from diced, milk-soaked bread rolls, egg yolk, powdered sugar, butter, quark, vanilla, lemon zest, raisins and cream and is served in the pan with hot vanilla sauce.
