Who doesn''t know Bajadere, the dessert that brings us back nostalgically to our childhood days? It is still one of the most popular desserts throughout the countries of the former Yugoslavia; some say there are as many recipes for it as there are cooks.
Bajadera are the famous Krás Pralines with a wonderful chocolate flavour and a hint of hazelnut. Initially sold by the famous chocolate company in neatly shaped boxes of chocolates along with its other sweet products, they quickly won the hearts of chocolate lovers and were sold as a stand-alone product in 1954. The delicious nougat cream of hazelnuts, almonds and chocolate, shaped into pralines wrapped in gold foil, is not only a favourite with sweet tooths in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, but is also popular in other parts of the world. The elegant golden confectionery is thus suitable for both home sweetening in the company of loved ones and as a gift.
In contrast to the contents of the packaging, the appearance of the latter was only designed in 1989 - since then, of course, it has been the hallmark of these delicious pralines. In 2015, however, a new, festive version of the praline, called Bajadera Amarus, was designed to celebrate its 60th anniversary. It is made with delicious dark nougat and enriched with pieces of crunchy almonds and hazelnuts.
Its popularity is also demonstrated by the fact that it is one of the most frequently purchased sweets in Croatia - especially during the Christmas holidays. If you have never made Bajadera at home before, we highly recommend you give it a try, as making it at home can be great fun. The recipe is extremely simple, as you can make the pralines without baking, and it only takes half an hour to prepare. All you need are hazelnuts, biscuits, sugar, butter and chocolate-hazelnut spread.
