Serbia is often described as sitting between the east and the west. The influence of various cultures is noticeable in its history and architecture, and the cuisine. This article will look at the incredible and varied deserts that come from Serbia and its diverse cultural heritage.
1. Krofne (Donuts)
Unlike American donuts, those from Serbia are all round and golden brown. They are made from sourdough that is deep-fried in oil, and if you want to go old school, they should be fried in pig fat.
Krofne can be covered with sugar or filled with jam, usually plum or apricot. But today, you can find them filled with all sorts of sweet delights. Artisans are reinventing the krofna in Serbia.
2. Šnenokle (Eggs in Snow)
Eggs in snow is a favorite all over Serbia. The origin of šnenokle is probably linked with the Austro-Hungarian empire. But the dish is eaten and served regularly in households throughout Serbia.
Šnenokle is made with eggs. The whites are used to make fluffy pillows, and the yolks are used to create a sweet liquid. The pillows float in a golden custard-like pool. This treat is refreshing when served cold and is a staple at Christmas gatherings.
3. Ruske kape (Russian Hat)
This chocolate and desiccated coconut combination is a tasty delight served during the cold winters. As the name suggests, this dessert looks like a tall soldier’s hat covered in snow. The center of the dessert is made with a soft and moist chocolate sponge, which is then rolled in the coconut.
The combination of chocolate and coconut is excellent. Each taste helps the other to create a well-balanced dessert. Plus, they are often served in bite-sized pieces so you can enjoy the texture and taste all at once. Read More…
