Description
The original Sharlotka has its roots in England and is actually called Charlotte. The classic version was made from white bread, pastry cream and apples and it was served hot. At the beginning of the 19th century, a similar recipe was invented in France, where bread was replaced by airy biscuit. This dessert was served cold and was called "Charlotte Russe", meaning "Russian Charlotte".
