The express snack was a hit in the PRL. Without baking, just in time for Sunday coffee

In the Polish People’s Republic, cakes were prepared and from simple ingredients that each hostess had at hand. There were also such sweets without baking, made at a rapid pace. It is this group that we include Piszinger. We present a recipe for this iconic delicacy, but in a slightly modernized version.

The idea of putting the wafers with chocolate cream probably came up with the Viennese confectioner Oscar Pischinger – this is where their name came from. The first recipes began to appear in the nineteenth century and since then various fillings have been invented. In Poland, this dessert was incredibly popular during the People’s Poland.

Andruty was most often translated with butter and sugar mass, enriched with milk powder or cocoa. There were also fillings in the form of jelly itself or one with foam. Piszinger was also filled with cocoa cream and plum jam.

This time we will focus on a modernized version of this dessert – translate andruty with kajmaka mass, which replaces the classic cuddle of butter and sugar. In this way, an express snack will be created, ideal for Sunday coffee or for an unannounced visit of guests.

Ingredients:

• 12 Andrutów;
• 1 can of kajmaku;
• 1 soft butter cube;
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Preparation:

To make Piszinger, at the beginning mix the kajmak with soft butter and vanilla extract with a whisk or mixer. A smooth cream must be created.

Then we put a portion of the cream on one of the Andruits and cover it with another wafer. We repeat this activity until the ingredients are used, ending with a cake at the top.

The finished block is pressed so that the whole is connected well. Piszinger is wrapped in baking paper or cling film and press again, e.g. with a bowl with a load.

We put the dessert in the fridge for an hour – at this time the andruty will soften, and the mass will have the right consistency. If we care about the express snack, we put it in the freezer for 15 minutes. After a few minutes, you can cut wafers and give them to guests.
