Karpatka is an easy Polish Carpathian cream cake dessert recipe. It’s the peasant version of the more refined kremówka—a basic cream pie of two layers of choux pastry, filled with vanilla milk custard. Because of its craggy, mountain shape and snow-capped look, it’s named after the famous Carpathian Mountains.
When dusted with confectioners’ sugar, the dessert takes on the look of the craggy, snow-capped Carpathian Mountains, hence its name. In addition to a custard filling, karpatka can be filled with easy pastry cream.
