Notes

Tips and Tricks

Make sure the custard mixture is thick enough before pouring it over the bottom pastry sheet. If it's too thin, it may soak through the pastry and become too soggy.
Use a serrated knife to slice the Bosnian Krempita for easier cutting and presentation.
Serve the Bosnian Krempita chilled for best taste and texture.
Dust powdered sugar on top of the Bosnian Krempita before serving for a decorative touch.
