Vosi Hnizda (Czech Christmas Sweets) image

This is as common in the Czech Republic as Mexican Wedding Cakes/Russian Tea Cakes are in the USA. One does need a bee hive form, but one can use an empty chamber from a grocery store cardboard egg carton.

Time 45m

Yield 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups crushed round vanilla wafers or 1 1/4 cups round toddler vanilla wafers
25 whole round vanilla wafers
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
7 tablespoons soft room temp butter
2 tablespoons rum
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cocoa (Hershey's pure baking cocoa)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
5 1/2 tablespoons soft room temp butter
1 egg yolk, from a pasteurized egg (or immerse an unpasteurized egg in boiling water for 1 minute, cool immediately)
2 tablespoons rum

Steps:

  • Set the 25 whole vanilla wafers aside.
  • Crush enough vanilla wafers, in a medium sized bowl, to make 1 1/4 cups of a rough"flour".
  • Add powdered sugar, butter, rum, water, and cocoa.
  • Mix ingredients.
  • In a small bowl mix filling ingredients together.
  • Dust the inside of the bee hive form with powdered sugar, then press in a small ball of dough.
  • Make a hole in the dough with your finger or end of a wooden spoon.
  • Add enough filling to the hole, with a spoon, to fill the cavity.
  • Carefully tap the hive out of the form and set it atop a whole vanilla wafer.
  • You must experiment to find out how much powdered sugar one needs to dust the form with, so that the hive slips out easily.
  • If you have no bee hive form, use an empty chamber from a grocery store cardboard egg carton.
  • Store in a cool place, remembering you have raw egg in the filling.

I'm not a big fan of walnuts, but I still liked these cookies. The filling is creamy and delicious, and the crispy nests are a nice touch.

The filling is a bit too sweet for my taste, but the cookies are still good. I'll definitely be making them again next year.
