Russia is a huge country and its cuisine is very diverse depending on which part of the country you are in. In terms of desserts, however, there are some very universal recipes that Russian cuisine is famous for all over the world.

This common product is made from wheat flour, water, milk, salt, sugar, yeast and sometimes eggs. Very popular are the copper and cherry pies, which are prepared with honey and cherries, respectively, and are served as a dessert.
3. Sour: Although sour ones were once really sour and were made from oats and peas, today they are among the indispensable desserts in Russian cuisine. They are prepared from starch and all kinds of fruit purees, fresh or dried fruits. Among the most common sour are those of apples, blueberries, rose hips, pumpkin, yeast, oats and honey.
