Kissel is a common dessert in Eastern and Northern Europe. It consists of sweetened juice or milk, thickened with arrowroot, cornstarch or potato starch; sometimes red wine or dried fruits are added. It is similar to the Danish Rødgrød and German Röte Grütze.

Kissel can be served either hot or cold, also together with sweetened quark or semolina pudding. Kissel can also be served on pancakes or with ice cream. If the kissel is made using less thickening starch, it can be drank.
