16 German and Dutch pie recipes to make everyone salivate

Pie is always a successful dessert… There are lemon pie, apple pie, strawberry pie, banana pie etc. But, usually, none of them makes the eyes shine as much as German or Dutch pies – which bring together several delicious ingredients in the same recipe.

You may be wondering exactly what the difference is between German pie and Dutch pie. And the answer is that they are very similar, but, in general, what differentiates them is the fact that the Dutch has a layer of biscuit underneath, then the cream and then the layer of chocolate ganache. The German pie has several layers of biscuit between the layers of cream.

Having said that, it remains to be said that, despite the names, both pies are totally Brazilian! And it is not by chance that they are very successful desserts here in Brazil: they are made with delicious ingredients and have a great presentation!
