Mohr im Hemd

Mohr im Hemd (German: [moːɐ̯ ɪm hɛmt] ^ⓘ, literally "Moor in [a] shirt") is an Austrian dessert. It consists of a chocolate pudding topped with whipped cream, hence the name.

Mohr im Hemd, served in a Viennese coffee house

Bare, without sauce or cream

In modern times, the dish is often prepared with breadcrumbs to form a solid mass, resembling a lava cake or miniature gugelhupf, and served with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.^[1] Older recipes more closely resemble a chocolate custard, with the primary ingredients being chocolate and eggs.^[2][3]

The racial connotations of the dish's name have drawn controversy. In 2012, the human rights organization SOS Mitmensch publicly criticized the name, suggesting replacements such as Kuchen mit Schlag.^[4]
