    Serbian walnut pie is a sweet dessert filled with ground walnuts is very similar to a baklava. Serbians believe that walnuts are an aphrodisiac so it is a common ingredient in Serbian desserts.  Make this one ahead as it should be refrigerated for 24 hours before serving.

    Serbia has such a rich history being part of so many empires and kingdoms, it is no surprise their cuisine reflects that. 

    We thoroughly enjoyed this dessert to end our International Cuisine meal for Serbia, with a nice rich cup of coffee.  There is a thriving coffee culture in Serbia.  Coffee houses are places for family and friends to sit down and catch up.  This Serbian walnut pie goes perfect with it.

    If you are looking for more authentic Serbian recipes or simply want to learn a bit more about the country, be sure to check out "Our Journey to Serbia" .
