About Kersen vlaai

Kersen Vlaai is a traditional Dutch-Limburgian cherry tart, renowned for its deliciously sweet and tangy flavor. This dessert features a yeast-based crust, giving it a light and slightly chewy texture, which is then filled with a generous layer of tart cherries, often sweetened and thickened with sugar and cornstarch or similar ingredients. Some varieties include a lattice crust on top or a crumble-like topping. While Kersen Vlaai is a delightful treat, it is relatively high in sugars and carbohydrates due to the sweetened cherry filling and pastry base, making it an indulgence best enjoyed in moderation. On the plus side, cherries provide a natural source of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, contributing some nutritional value to this classic dessert. Originating from the Limburg region of the Netherlands, Kersen Vlaai is a beloved part of Dutch cuisine, often served during celebrations or with a cup of coffee.
