Plum Bejgli 500g - Plum Jam Roll

Plum bejgli is an indulgent Hungarian pastry filled with thick plum jam and dried plums soaked in Zwack Unicum liqueur for a rich, grown-up treat.

What Is Plum Bejgli?

Bejgli, also spelt beigli, is Hungary's much-loved rolled celebration pastry, traditionally enjoyed at Christmas and Easter. This contemporary version keeps the signature golden, marbled crust and tender pastry, but swaps the classic walnut or poppy seed filling for a generous layer of dark, fruity plum preserve.

Pieces of dried plum soaked in Zwack Unicum add depth to the filling, bringing the liqueur's distinctive herbal character to the fruit's natural richness. A little lemon peel lifts the deep, sweet-tangy flavour, creating a fragrant and indulgent after-dinner pastry for adults.

It makes a striking addition to a Christmas dessert table, but is equally delicious with coffee, tea or a small glass of dessert wine at any time of year.

How to Serve Plum Bejgli

This pastry is made to be sliced and shared. Serve it at room temperature or warm it very lightly to soften the rich plum filling and bring out the fruit, citrus and herbal aromas.

• Serve a generous slice with strong coffee, black tea or a glass of Tokaji dessert wine after dinner.
• Add it to a festive dessert table with softly whipped cream, custard or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Offer it alongside the traditional poppy seed mákos bejgli and walnut diós bejgli for a memorable Hungarian pastry selection.

Serving Tip

Use a sharp serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to keep the handsome slices neat. If the pastry has been stored somewhere cool, allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the softest pastry and most luscious filling.

Where Does It Come From?

Our plum bejgli is hand-baked by Nándori Cukrászda, a family-run Budapest patisserie on Ráday Street. Its story began in 1957, and László Nándori took over the business in 1988, continuing its tradition of carefully made Hungarian cakes and pastries.

Skilled confectioners prepare each roll using a family recipe, filling rich pastry with plum jam, dried plums, citrus peel and a touch of Zwack Unicum. The result is a modern Hungarian celebration cake with a deep fruit flavour and a generous, jammy centre.
