Gibanica – traditional slovenian dessert

Prekmurska gibanica is culinary specialty that will amaze you with it’s look and especially with all amazing flavours.

Prekmurska gibanica is a very traditional Slovenian dessert, that comes from a part of Slovenia called Prekmurje. It is a very interesting and unique dessert, full of flavor and has a perfect structure. It looks impressive with so many delicious layers! It is an explosion of taste, combining 4 amazing different fillings (which we veganized):

• poppyseeds,
• lemon tofu cream  (originally cottage cheese),
• walnut cream,
• apple filling.

We can’t even describe how amazing it tastes, you just have to try it to know! Each of the layers is really delicious on it’s own, but together they are a perfect combination that will leave you speechless.

The recipe might look really long, because there are so many different layers, but it is actually pretty easy to make and doesn’t take that much time to make it as all of the fillings are really simple and quick to make.

And we also prepared a video recipe to make it easier for you to follow the recipe and see exactly how to make this dessert. Below you can also find a written recipe.
