If you have stayed at a German, Austrian or Swiss hotel, you must have tried this creamy, thick and decadent muesli, which is often served at breakfast buffets.
Although we are all fans of overnight muesli, my husband particularly loves the ones that are served at hotels and restaurants in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It is called bircher muesli, and it has a thick and creamy consistency. It almost tastes like dessert. He tried different ratios of ingredients to find the same consistency and taste. He eventually found the perfect one, which tastes the same like the one we had at different hotels in Germany and Austria.
We served it to our guests at brunch events at our place and they loved it too. They asked for the recipe, so here it is.
