Yes! I do agree with Jan that fruit dumplings are quite wonderful, too. The most commonly made are strawberry and prune plum dumplings. Such fruit knedliky are also eaten elsewhere outside of the Czech Republic, but often made with a potato-based dough. The “cottage cheese” (or farmer’s cheese) dough version is my favorite, though. In Czech Republic, it is a specific type of cheese called “tvaroh”. In Czech stores, there are even different types of tvaroh, most specifically relating to hard/softness. This type of cheese is available in some places in the US. I came from New Jersey, and since there is a large Polish population there (and some Amish influence), some stores sell this cheese. Again, some softer than others. It should not be mistaken for American cottage cheese, nor for other types of American farmer’s cheeses. In some other European countries they call it “quark”, but again, that can sometimes be too soft of a version for Czech fruit dumplings. The right hardness should be almost the texture of feta cheese, that can be grated. My Czech husband’s family always serves these fruit dumplings (knedliky) topped with lots of melted butter, more grated tvaroh, and some confectioner’s sugar.

My husband is a native of Prague, but now we live in Brno, after over 20 years together in the US. My husband left Czechoslovakia in the 1980s for the US. He said that he had never seen a trdelnik until after the Velvet Revolution. Never heard of them! Of course now they are all over the place as a touristy type street sweet.

Living in Brno (Moravian region) I would say my favorite sweet is the good-ole koblihy, which is pretty much a jelly donut, but I think the ones in Czech Republic are even better than ones in the US. They are extra fluffy in a most desirable way. Beyond that, I must say that Czech Christmas cookies are particularly delicious, and many Czech home bakers make a variety of them, a nicer group than most Americans make.

In the grocery stores in Prague there were 10 inch twist pastries. One was a sweet choco twist and another was a savory basil pesto twist. The choco twist has a small amount of a creamy inside with chocolate pieces. The savory had a cheesy inside with basil pesto. We lived there 2.5 years so tasted them many times along with the others in this article.

My husband and I bought croissants which were whole wheat with seeds inside. They were so delicious, the best we have ever had! Does anyone know what they are?

Please. I’ve lived in Prague for 18 years. I never heard of this or saw one until about 6 years ago or so. I don’t know one Czech that remembers them from before that time. It is NOT a Czech tradition, and there are many, many other cakes and deserts here that are far better than this over-hyped garbage.
