Engadin Nusstorte (Nut Cake)

The Engadin Nusstorte is a quintessential local delicacy, a rich shortcrust pastry pie filled with caramelized walnuts and cream. It's a regional specialty found in almost every bakery and restaurant in Pontresina and the Engadin. Recommended bakeries for an authentic Nusstorte include Puntschella or Gianottis. It makes for an excellent souvenir or a hearty snack after a day in the mountains. Prices range from CHF 8-15 for a small cake.
