Patriarch Pavle's favorite dessert identified as krempita

Patriarch Pavle, known for his extreme modesty and simple lifestyle, reportedly had a fondness for krempita, a traditional dessert. According to information from the YouTube channel ‘Deda Miletova kuhinja’, this classic pastry held a special place among his preferred tastes.

Krempita is characterized by its crispy puff pastry layers and a rich, airy vanilla custard filling. The traditional preparation involves a custard made from milk, egg yolks, sugar, and flour. To achieve a light and foamy texture, stiffly beaten egg whites are folded into the cooled cream before assembly.
