Herrencreme is a simple German dessert made with vanilla pudding, whipped cream, and grated bittersweet chocolate. It is usually flavored with an aromatic alcoholic beverage such as rum, whiskey, or cognac.

A typical after-lunch sweet treat, herrencreme is also often served on festive occasions such as christenings, weddings, or Christmas.
