List of Polish desserts

This is a list of Polish desserts. Polish cuisine has evolved over the centuries to become very eclectic due to Poland's history. Polish cuisine shares many similarities with other Central European cuisines, especially German, Austrian, and Hungarian cuisines,[1] as well as Jewish,[2] Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian,[3] French, and Italian culinary traditions.[4]
