Depending on the recipe, fruit extracts, roasted nuts, chocolate or vanilla are added. The various types of Zeltlirezpte differ mainly in consistency. They range from firm and semi-firm Zeltli to crumbly and crumbly variants. Whether liquid honey, glucose syrup or dextrose is used in the preparation of the Nidelzeltli is left to one’s own preference.

Pour the sugar syrup into the cream mixture and continue to gently simmer for another eight to ten minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter in pieces.
