Lviv syrnyk with an unexpected ingredient: an authentic recipe
Lviv syrnyk has long been one of Ukraine's favorite desserts. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that the popular delicacy is made with the simplest ingredients. At the same time, the syrnyk itself has a perfect creamy texture, holds its shape well and does not crumble.
The famous Lviv syrnyk was created by the popular Ukrainian confectioner of the 20th century Daria Tsvek. Her recipe is special because it calls for adding raw potatoes to the dessert, which makes the texture more perfect and the taste richer.
