In Switzerland we call it Vermicelles, it's made out of cooked and pureed chestnuts, served with whipped cream and meringues (no idea how to translate this, it's baked egg-whites with sugar). It's a typical autumn dessert.
Looking it up it's seemingly known as Mont Blanc abroad, though i've never heard it called that here.
Oh boy, I was about to answer “Gobi desert” and then looked up something more European like the “Monogros desert” just to say: I stick with waffles 🧇 , powder sugar, hot cherries 🍒, cream and vanilla ice cream 🍦.
I definitely don't think that they should be restricted, but I do find that weather significantly affects my tastes and some things are way better when specific ingredients are in season. I love cranachan but tend to go for it only when I can get good fresh raspberries, and I enjoy denser and heavier foods a lot more when I'm hiding from the cold

Meringue is universal. Northern Europe eats sweet chestnuts but I have never seen chestnut desserts in North America.
Last week I made a Basque Burnt Cheesecake and it could easily become one of my favourite cold-days dessert.

Fruit desserts are only good in season.
Can i recommend this delicious and extremely simple apple tart? I made this using apples from my garden and it was fabulous.

Stuck. It's from Berchtesgaden in Germany and is only made in autumn. I like it best just with butter.
