Paula Pumpernickel Herrencreme Liqueur by Sasse. Cream liqueur based on the Münsterland festive dessert, with vanilla, chocolate, and rum, 17% vol.
Paula Pumpernickel Herrencreme Liqueur is a cream liqueur from the Sasse fine distillery in Schöppingen, Münsterland: creamy and refined with notes of vanilla, chocolate, and fine rum, 17% vol, 700 ml. Not an egg liqueur and not a pudding to be eaten with a spoon – it is the Münsterland's favorite dessert in liqueur form, presented by Paula Pumpernickel.
The Herrencreme Liqueur from Paula Pumpernickel bears the name of a dessert served at festive occasions in the Münsterland region. Herrencreme is vanilla pudding folded with whipped cream, coarse dark chocolate, and a good splash of rum. A cream liqueur brings this dessert into a glass. Milk gives it a dense, velvety texture, the alcohol remains moderate at 17% vol, and the flavor comes from the original ingredients. Sasse describes it exactly how Herrencreme "simply has to taste." Imagine Boxing Day with the family: the glass bowl of Herrencreme has been scraped clean, but there is still a bottle waiting in the fridge.
Creamy and refined with vanilla, chocolate, and a good splash of rum
Vanilla, chocolate, and rum define the flavor. The vanilla provides a soft, rounded foundation, just like the pudding in the dessert. The chocolate adds depth, the rum adds warmth and a slight spice. The texture is creamy, fine, and dense, and with 17% vol, the alcohol remains in the background. Served well-chilled, it tastes closer to the dessert from the fridge; at room temperature, the rum comes through a bit more clearly. It is sweet in any case, just like the original.
The liqueur contains milk. According to the manufacturer, it keeps for a long time even after opening, provided it is stored between 0 and 25 °C.
On ice, alongside dessert, or over vanilla ice cream
Sasse recommends the Herrencreme Liqueur "on the rocks," served over a few ice cubes in a tumbler. The ice makes it fresher and lightens the sweetness. And because it tastes like the favorite Münsterland dessert, the manufacturer suggests it is also excellent served that way – as a small glass alongside the dessert bowl. This is a liqueur with 17% vol; it may only be sold to persons aged 18 and over.
Store the bottle upright, in a cool, dark place.
Our tip: Pour 2 cl of chilled liqueur over a scoop of vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with coarsely chopped dark chocolate – a "Herrencreme" for those who don't have time for pudding this evening.
A Münsterland dessert, the regional seal, and a gourmet expert
Paula Pumpernickel is a brand that emerged from a partnership between the Sasse fine distillery and the Münsterland-Siegel association. Sasse has been a founding member of the seal since 2009. Since 2021, gourmet expert Paula Pumpernickel has been presenting three milk liqueurs and regional food products under this name, and the Paula Pumpernickel Herrencreme Liqueur is one of them.
It is produced at Sasse in Schöppingen, a distillery otherwise known primarily for its barrel-aged grain spirits. For these cream liqueurs, the company draws on flavors that many people in Münsterland have known since childhood. Here, it is the dessert that appears in glass bowls at family gatherings and holidays.
For Herrencreme fans, Münsterlanders abroad, and the dessert plate
The Herrencreme Liqueur is the bottle for anyone who thinks of holidays when they hear the word "Herrencreme." For Münsterlanders who have moved away, it is a greeting from home; for hosts, it is the perfect end to dessert. If you prefer coffee-table flavors, try the Milk Coffee Liqueur; if you love sweet and salty, go for the Salted Caramel Liqueur; you can find all bottles on our Sasse page. The liqueur is not suitable for those with milk allergies or lactose intolerance, or for those living a vegan lifestyle. If you are looking for a strong digestif, our Sechser herbal liqueur is a better choice.
