Schaumrolle

Schaumrollen, or Schillerlocken (lit. foam rolls or Schiller's curls) are an Austrian and German confection. They consist of a cone or tube of puff pastry filled with whipped cream, Bavarian cream or meringue. The pastries are made by wrapping thin pastry strips around a cone shaped metal tube. After baking, they are filled with the "foam", which is usually sweetened whipped cream or meringue. The pastry tubes are often rolled in coarse sugar or powdered sugar before baking, for extra sweetness and a crunchy texture. This is a variety of a cream horn, which was brought to North America by Mennonites from the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Also popular with immigrants from the Danube region (such as the Danube Swabians), Schaumrollen or Schillerlocken can be made up to five inches long, and are served as a treat on major holidays such as Christmas, as well as at weddings and first Communion celebrations. In Austria, they are consumed throughout the year as a treat or afternoon snack, alongside a cup of coffee. Like many pastries, this dessert is high in calories; an Austrian Schaumrolle is estimated to have almost 200 calories per single piece, of which 46 percent are fats, and 49 percent carbohydrates.
