Karpatka
Karpatka is a traditional Polish cream pie filled with vanilla milk pudding or custard. It is usually composed of two different types of pastry; the base layer made of shortcrust pastry is thinly covered with marmalade and thick cream, then topped with a sheet of choux pastry. The dessert takes its name from the mountain-like pleated shape of the powdered choux pastry which resembled the snowy peaks of the Carpathian Mountains – "Karpaty" in Polish. The dish is often dusted with icing sugar. The origins of the dessert are unclear; it most likely emerged at the turn of the  1950s and 1960s, but its popularity only became widespread in the 1970s and 1980s. The official name "karpatka" was first coined or recorded in 1972 by a group of philology students. Traditionally, one large slice of the pie was served with coffee or tea. There are "karpatka" baking mixes available in shops across Poland. In 1995, "Karpatka" became a trade mark registered for a company called Delecta for the determination of cream powder in the Polish Patent Office.
