Salzburger Nockerl’s exact origins are unclear. One theory is Napoleon brought the dessert to Austria from France. Another says Salzburg’s Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau’s mistress - and mother of his 15 children - invented it. The Salzburger Nockerl wraps the love of life and the snowy Mönchs, Kapuziner and Gaisberg peaks into one delicious pudding.
