Mohr im Hemd is an Austrian confectionery. Mainly it consists of chocolate, crumbs of bread, sugar, yolk, almonds and red wine. It is shaped like a small gugelhupf. Similar to the English Christmas pudding the Mohr im Hemd is cooked in water. Afterwards it is covered in hot chocolate and decorated with whipped cream. Sometimes the Mohr is served along with ice cream and thus gets called Eismohr im Hemd. A Mohr im Hemd can be savoured in Austrian coffee houses as well as restaurants. Sometimes you can get a Mohr in a Bavarian confectionery shop as well.

Controversy regarding the denomination
A couple of years ago, the first controversies started, discussing whether the term Mohr im Hemd ought to be replaced (e.g. by Schokokuchen mit Schlag, Schokohupf oder Kakaohupf). Backers of the argumentation state, the term Mohr is discriminating due to historical reasons. Defenders of the term counter by stating Mohr is an outdated term used almost exclusively in art (Othello), sayings (Der Mohr hat seine Schuldigkeit getan, der Mohr kann gehen. - "The Moor has done his duty, the Moor can go.", quotation from Schiller's Fiesco), in historic works (and rarely pejorative) or - completely without a reference to a person - as a name for confectionaries.
