Kremšnita Is A Creamy Cake Croatians Love
By Grace Allison
Black risotto, sarma, chunky fish stew, and Kulen sausage are popular savory Croatian dishes, but when it comes to dessert, Kremšnita is an exceptionally cherished cake.
Kremšnita consists of two layers of delicate puff pastry, which sandwich one thick layer of custard and is often topped with whipped cream.
This delectably fluffy-foamy consistency is achieved by folding whisked egg whites into the custard. It's sweet, flaky, and retains a lightness that melts in your mouth.
The revered kremšnita is believed to have been invented by a pastry chef named Đuro Lukačić, who studied the art of pastry making in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.
Lukačić then traveled to the Croatian city of Samobor, where it is believed that the first kremšnita was made during the 1920s in celebration of the city.
Locals generally agree that the best and only kremšnita you should eat is from Samobor. So, if you're ever in Croatia, you know which city to go to for kremšnita.
