Also known as: Blejska kremšnita, Kremšnita
Puff pastry layered with vanilla custard and whipped cream.
About Bled Cream Cake
Bled cream cake layers vanilla custard and whipped cream between sheets of puff pastry. Slovenian Kitchen presents this homemade rendition alongside the dessert's association with cafes around Lake Bled and treats taken home to relatives.
Milk, egg yolks, flour and cornstarch form the custard, which is combined with beaten egg whites. Vanilla sugar and a little spiced rum flavour the filling, while vanilla paste seasons the whipped cream.
The cake is cut into squares. Individual pastry lids sit over the cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar finishes the crisp upper surface.
