Izidor Nut Cups
Košíčky Izidor are crisp little pastries with a rich nut filling that will delight any sweet tooth. The dough is made from flour, fat, sugar, cocoa and nuts, left to rest in the fridge and then pressed into small moulds. After baking, the cups are filled with redcurrant jam and a rum-flavoured nut mixture, decorated with chocolate cream and finally dipped in chocolate.
