NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND CLOUDBERRIES



Norwegian Krumkake With Whipped Cream and Cloudberries image

My DBIL was born in Norway and loves his heritage foods. This is one of the recipes that my sister makes at Christmas time. It is my favorite Norwegian dish that she makes. These cookies are absolutely wonderful. Some people simply roll the cookies in a tube instead of making a cone. But my sister always makes them a cone.

Time 1h2m

Yield 24 cooky cones, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups of whipped heavy cream (whip until it peaks)
2 tablespoons cloudberries (some people in the U.S. use fresh raspberries or raspberry jam)

Steps:

  • Mix together the beaten egg, sugar and vanilla well.].
  • Mix in the whipping cream.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until smooth.
  • When krumkake iron is hot, put 1 teaspoon of batter on the iron and bake until light brown.
  • Roll the cookie into a cone immediately while krumkake is still hot.
  • When completely cooled store them in a air tight container.
  • To serve lay the cookies next to a bowl of whipped cream which has the 2 Tablespoons of Cloudberries folded into it.
  • Each person fills their cone with their desired amount of the creme mixture.
  • OPTION: Sometimes when my sister has been unable to purchase cloudberries she has used either fresh raspberries or raspberry jam.
  • I personally prefer the raspberries.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, plump cloudberries: The best cloudberries for Multekrem are ripe and plump, with a deep orange color and a slightly tart flavor. Avoid berries that are bruised or moldy.
  • Use heavy cream for the whipped cream: Heavy cream will give you the best results for whipped cream, as it will whip up light and fluffy. You can also use a combination of heavy cream and milk, but the whipped cream will be less stiff.
  • Sweeten the whipped cream to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the whipped cream is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more until the whipped cream is as sweet as you like it.
  • Serve Multekrem immediately: Multekrem is best served immediately, as the cloudberries will start to break down and lose their flavor if they sit for too long. If you need to make Multekrem ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours, but be sure to serve it chilled.

Conclusion:

Multekrem is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it as a simple dessert or use it to top pancakes or waffles, Multekrem is sure to be a hit.
