Today the Department of Awesome Overindulgence asks why eat ice cream in a cone when you could be enjoying it in a sugary cone-shaped pastry instead? This mouthwatering treat is a traditional Slovak dessert called Trdelník or “chimney cakes.” They cone is made from sweet bread dough that’s wrapped around a stick, grilled, and then sprinkled sugar, cinnamon, and ground walnuts. Filling the center of the Trdelník with chocolate sauce and ice cream is a new addition that’s has tourists and locals alike flocking to cafés and markets in Prague.
