It was master confectioner Paul Fürst who created the world famous Mozartkugel in 1890 to honour the Salzburg-born composer. Much copied, this perfectly round chocolate ball is a delicate creation of pistacho-flavoured marzipan surrounded by a layer of nougat.
To make the praline without a flat base, Fürst placed the marzipan-nougat ball on a small stick and dipped it in dark chocolate. The hole that remained after removing the stick was then filled with more chocolate. More than 125 years later, they are still made by hand to the original recipe at Cafe Konditorei Fürst, so pop in to enjoy them with a coffee. original-mozartkugel.com
