Description
A taste of childhood. Bright berry flavor. Traditional Slavic comfort.
Raspberry Kissel (Brick) by Babushkin Khutorok is a classic Eastern European fruit dessert drink made in a convenient pressed block (briket) format. With its rich raspberry flavor and smooth, naturally thick texture, kissel is both a drink and a light dessert — warm, comforting, and nostalgic.
For many who grew up in Russia and Eastern Europe, kissel was served at home, in school cafeterias, and during family gatherings. It’s more than a beverage — it’s a memory of cozy kitchens and simple ingredients.
