Homemade tatranky are not only tasty but also a more economical option compared to the store-bought ones. Preparation requires only 6 ingredients and an hour of your time, and you know exactly what you put into them. Forget about chemicals and substitutes – the homemade versions are full of quality ingredients and taste great. Even if you may not manage to maintain a perfect shape, small imperfections only underline their homemade character.

For 10 portions

Ingredients

250 g granulated sugar
250 g butter
3 tablespoons Solamyl
80 g cocoa
100 g ground nuts (preferably walnuts)
1 can of Salko
2 packs of cake wafers

Preparation procedure

Preparing the cream: In a pot (preferably non-stick) mix the sugar, butter, Salko, cocoa, ground nuts and Solamyl. Heat slowly, stirring constantly, until a thick dark brown cream forms.
Preparing the wafer layers: Place baking paper on a smaller baking tray and put the first wafer sheet on it. Spread cream on the first wafer and cover it with the second wafer. Repeat this process until you have used 5 wafer sheets (the top should remain unspread).
Removing air: Cover the last wafer with baking paper and place something heavy on top (e.g., a bag of flour) to remove air bubbles and create a compact structure.
Chilling: Let the tatranky set overnight in the refrigerator.
Finishing: The next day, cut the wafers into pieces the size of classic tatranky. You can dip the edges in melted chocolate and sprinkle decorations of your choice.
