Žemlovka is one of the traditional sweet dishes that has become established in Czech and Slovak cuisine decades ago. This recipe proves that even ordinary rolls that are no longer fresh can be transformed into an irresistible dessert. The combination of poppy seeds, cherries, smooth pudding and fluffy whipped cream creates a dessert that is filling, juicy and yet very simple to prepare. If you don’t have poppy seeds on hand, you can replace them with coconut – the result will be just as excellent.
