In the heart of Moldova, where folklore and food intertwine, there’s a dessert that wears its story proudly—Cușma lui Guguță, or “Guguță’s Hat.”

It’s not just a treat; it’s a tribute to a beloved literary character and a celebration of tradition, creativity, and indulgence.

📚 A Hat Full of Stories

Guguță is a mischievous boy from Moldovan children’s tales, known for his oversized sheepskin hat that grows magically to shelter everyone around him. This dessert, shaped like a towering hat, honors that spirit of generosity and warmth. It’s often served during holidays and family gatherings, evoking nostalgia and joy with every bite.

🍒 Layers of Love

The dessert is constructed from rolled crepes filled with sour cherries, stacked in a pyramid and blanketed with whipped cream or sour cream. The final flourish? A snowfall of grated chocolate. The contrast of tart cherries and creamy topping creates a flavor profile that’s both comforting and refreshing.

Each crepe is a chapter, each cherry a character, and the entire structure a storybook ending. It’s a dish that invites you to slow down, savor, and share.

🧁 Recipe: Cușma lui Guguță (Guguță’s Hat)

Ingredients

For the crepes:

• 2 eggs
• 300 ml milk
• 100 ml water
• 150 g flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more for frying)

For the filling:

• 300 g sour cherries (fresh or frozen, pitted)
• 1–2 tbsp sugar (optional, depending on cherry tartness)
• For the topping:
• 300 ml whipping cream or sour cream
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• Grated dark chocolate (for garnish)

Instructions

Make the crepes

Whisk eggs, milk, water, sugar, salt, and flour until smooth.
Stir in oil and let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a nonstick pan, lightly oil it, and cook thin crepes until golden on both sides.

Prepare the filling
If using frozen cherries, thaw and drain them.
Mix with sugar if desired.

Assemble the rolls
Place a line of cherries along one edge of each crepe.
Roll tightly into tubes.

Build the hat
On a serving plate, arrange a layer of crepe rolls side by side.
Add a second layer on top, slightly narrower, and continue stacking to form a pyramid.

Top it off
Whip the cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Generously coat the pyramid with cream.
Sprinkle grated chocolate over the top.

Chill and serve
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Slice like a cake and enjoy!

Whether you’re honoring Moldovan heritage or simply craving something beautiful and delicious, Cușma lui Guguță is a dessert that tells a story with every bite. If you’d like a twist on the classic—say, with mascarpone or berries—I’d be happy to help you remix it.
