Hungarian desserts

This mouthwatering collection of delicious Hungarian desserts and sweets will take you on a sweet trip to Hungary.

A little known fact about me is that my Dad’s side of the family is from Hungary, so I wanted to go back to my paternal roots today and make Hungarian Krémes. I started researching Hungarian desserts, because if I’m going to recreate something, I would prefer it to be as sweet as possible, and when I saw krémes, I knew I had to have one! They are made up of layers of pure deliciousness and incredible textures.

Hungary is renowned for its fine pastries, some of them borrowed from Austria which, in turn, borrowed from France. Here are some of the best.

This is one of the best cakes ever: traditional Hungarian Dobos Torte with several pastry layers, chocolate buttercream, and caramel topping.
