Yes, this is an actual sweet from my country. It’s called a Kokoska (try pronouncing that! 😆)
It’s really good, actually. Maybe my favorite sweet of all time. I’ll do my best to describe it…
The cap is hard-ish and filled with ground coconut. The bottom (chocolate) part is filled with a light brown cream, which in my country is called Parisian cream, which is complete bs, it has nothing to do with Paris. In the middle of all the cream, there’s also a small center made of red jam, I think it’s strawberry. It adds a nice sweet touch to it, as the cream isn’t that sweet itself. And on the very bottom, there’s a hard base, similar to the top cap, but I think there’s no coconut in it. Honestly not that much coconut, considering the name 😂
All in all, is good :3
That’s one of the things I appreciate most about this country. The food is alright (even tho it’s so heavy, fatty and unhealthy and combined with the beer consumption, you’re gonna die lol) but the sweets! The sweets are amazing, and I’m really easy to please. Just give me straight up sugar and I’m a happy Miisha. And jam is great, I eat glasses of strawberry jam with a tablespoon, as if it was applesauce lol.
I’m weird, teehee :3
Here’s another one:

I know something similar called Kokosmakrone, thats basically just the top of your Kokoska, sometimes with a thin layer of chocolate at the bottom.
If i manage to bake christmas cookies this year i’ll try to make some with strawberry jam between the chocolate and the top.
Oh yeah, I know that one! You can buy it here too and they’re really good. I think some jam in them would be amazing tbh!
Omg this sounds amazing. I want it so bad.
P.S. You do WHAT with jam and a spoon??? MIISH???
Don’t judge me for living my best life 😭
All with love, crazy girlie <3
That sounds really delicious! I’m gonna have to poke around and see if I can find something similar in the markets around here. Love coconut desserts and the cream filling sounds lovely (hehe).
It is delicious! Hope you find something similar. And yeah, coconut and cream-filled deserts are amazing! ❤️
There’s a Ukrainian market here that has a huge bakery (and they carry snacks from other countries)…I wonder if they might have something similar!
Ooh, that sounds nice! Hope you find some
interestingdelicious things there!
