Míša řezy

Míša řezy is a traditional Czech dessert made of three layers: a base of airy chocolate sponge cake, a cheese-based middle layer, and a thick chocolate glaze. The star ingredient is a cheese called quark or tvaroh in Czech. It is a firm, spoonable curd cheese that is popular in Central Europe and is similar to cottage cheese, fromage frais, or farmer’s cheese - although these cheeses differ somewhat in consistency and/or fat content to tvaroh. Míša řezy means “Mickey’s squares” in Czech. It is based on the popular Míša popsicle, which was invented in 1962 and consists of tangy, quark-based ice cream covered in dark chocolate. It is an integral part of Czech childhood. The Míša logo features a grinning green bear holding its arms above the word Míša. Míša řezy traditionally is made as a large sheet cake and it is cut into squares. This recipe is for a smaller circular version. It is simple to prepare and the combination of chocolate and cheesecake is delicious. In addition to being served for dessert, Míša řezy can be eaten for breakfast - a piece of cake is a typical Czech breakfast! Recipe below.
