A popular German Dessert is Bienenstich (Bee Sting Cake).

It is made of two sweet yeast bread layers filled with vanilla custard and topped with a crunchy almond and honey topping.

Foods that Germans most commonly eat in the winter are.

Sauerbraten - 'Sour roast'.
Rindsrouladen - Beef rolls.
Kartoffelknödel or Klösse - Potato dumplings.
Kartoffelpuffer - Potato pancakes.
Flädlesuppe - Broth with pancake noodles.
Käsespätzle - 'Little sparrows' with cheese.
Maultaschen - 'Feedbags'.
Grünkohleintopf - Kale stew.

Camembert is German and is a popular German Cheese.

Camembert is a surface-ripened, triple cream cheese made using fresh cow's milk, made by Käserei Champignon, Lauben / Allgäu, Germany.

Although much imitated everywhere, production of Camembert originated in Normandy, France, invented in 1791 by Marie Harel.

The name "Camembert de Normandie" is protected under AOC rules that were grantd in 1983, meaning that cheeses bearing this name have to be made according to specific guidelines.

Common German Cheeses are.

Allgäuer Bergkäse. Allgäuer Bergkäse is a hard cheese from the mountainous region of Allgäu in the south of Bavaria.
Allgäuer Emmentaler.
Altenburger Ziegenkäse.
Bergader Edelpilz.
Butterkäse.
Cambozola.
Quark.
Hüttenkäse.

Brie is famous for pairing a mild flavor with a luxurious texture.

It has a soft and creamy mouthfeel that has earned it a worldwide reputation.

Camembert's taste is deeper and slightly more intense.

It is often described as earthier than Brie.

Camembert is a moist, soft, creamy, surface-ripened cow's milk cheese.

It was first made in the late 18th century in Camembert, Normandy, in northwest France.

It is sometimes compared in look and taste to brie cheese, albeit with a slightly lower butterfat content than brie's typical 60% and 75% by weight.

You can serve Camembert with any kind of toasted bread from baguette to pitta for dipping – cut the bread into small pieces or fingers to make this easier.

Bread sticks are also good for dipping, as are cheese crackers and raw veg (the slightly healthier option).
