Is there something similar to Balkan kajmak in Poland? I have a lot of Polish stores in my neighborhood in NL so I hope I could maybe find it there.

We have something called kajmak, but it’s caramelized milk.
Yes

No, it’s forbidden. Having it ends up with anathema issued by the local bishop and three hours of whipping in the nearest town/city square. /s

Kajmak is a sweet fudge mass, known in Poland as an addition to cakes, wafers and desserts, as well as an ingredient in mazurek cakes. In Balkan cuisine, especially in Turkey, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Bosnia, kajmak is also a cheese, made from buffalo or cow’s milk, with a slightly salty taste.
Kajmak in Poland: Fudge mass: Poles know kajmak mainly as a thick, sweet mass, made from milk or cream cooked with sugar, often enriched with caramel, vanilla, chocolate or coffee.
Use: Kajmak is a popular addition to baked goods, especially mazurek cakes, wafers and other desserts.
Nope. [This](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulce_de_leche) is what Poles call kajmak (see last paragraph of the naming section), and it’s nothing like balkan/turkish kajmak.
In big cities, possible meet an Indians shop, and they sell some sweet stuff as you describe.
