For the best results, ensure the butter is very cold when making both the crust and the streusel. Draining the cherries thoroughly is essential to prevent a soggy kuchen. Feel free to experiment with other fruits, such as blueberries, raspberries, or peaches. A touch of almond extract in the custard can enhance the flavor profile. If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two knives or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour.
