Easter Eggs Ukrainian
Russian or Ukrainian Pastry?
I have been trying to figure out the name of this pastry I ate four or five years ago, but I have not had success finding out what it is over the internet.
I have come across many pastries which are like donuts with a cream filling, and what I ate did contain cream, but the outside had more of a graham cracker crust consistency. Also, I believe the outside was embossed (there was raised detailing on the surface like it had been placed in a mold).
To my knowledge, I don’t remember eating this around Easter, and the reason why I mention that is because I remember it was more of an egg shaped pastry, but if there is one item pretty close to what I am describing that is usually only made around the springtime, don’t rule it out on my account.
I would ask the people who made them, but I don’t know them personally.
Thank You ahead of time for your help. 
I believe they are Oreshki. They are a nut shaped pastry with a condensed milk filling. Here’s a picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34022693@N06/3387519986/
Here is a recipe in Russian from a site I really like: http://gotovim-doma.ru/view.php?r=33-recept-Oreshki-so-sgushchenkoi
Here is a recipe in English: http://hungrypug.com/2008/09/28/oreshki-baked-walnut-cookies/
It’s a little different from the one in Russian but not dramatically so. Should still be good!
