Krupicová kaše
Description
Krupicová kaše is made by heating milk until lukewarm, then whisking in cream of wheat and slowly cooking until the mixture thickens without lumps. The porridge is spread evenly on a plate and generously sprinkled with a combination of granulated sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder. Melted unsalted butter is poured over the top, enriching the dish with a creamy richness.
Its flavor balances the mild, creamy base with the sweet, slightly bitter notes from the cocoa and sugar topping. The butter adds richness and moisture, softening the texture. Traditionally, this Czech dish is eaten starting around the edges of the plate, moving toward the center where toppings accumulate.
The basic recipe yields two portions. Using granulated sugar provides a crunchy texture, but it can be substituted with powdered sugar for smoothness. Some variations include sprinkling cinnamon with sugar instead of cocoa powder. Krupicová kaše makes a comforting start to the day or a simple dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 4 heaped Tablespoons cream of wheat
Topping
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
Instructions
- Pour 2 cups milk into a saucepan and place it on the stove. Heat the milk over medium-high heat until it is lukewarm, but not hot.
- Remove the milk from the heat and stir in 4 heaped Tablespoons Cream of Wheat. Whisk gently to prevent lumps from forming. Return the saucepan to the heat.
- Still over medium heat, cook until thickened. Stir constantly to avoid lumps.
- Spread the Krupicová kaše on a wide plate and generously sprinkle with a mixture of granulated sugar and dark cocoa powder.
- Pour over the melted butter (each portion about 1 and ½ Tablespoon) and serve immediately.
Notes
- The recipe makes two portions, suitable for a small serving or sharing.
- You can substitute the Czech Dětská krupička for cream of wheat to match traditional ingredients.
- Replacing granulated sugar with powdered sugar will create a smoother topping texture.
- For a variation, try mixing cinnamon with sugar instead of cocoa powder for the topping.
- To enjoy traditionally, eat from the outer edges toward the center where toppings concentrate.
