STRAWBERRY KRUMKAKE CANNOLI
This is a mashup of the crispy Norwegian rolled cookie, krumkake (which is typically unfilled), and Italian cannoli, which is typically filled with a creamy ricotta filling. They go together so deliciously, especially when strawberries are involved!

Steps:
- For the strawberry filling: Put the ricotta in a strainer over a bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight to drain the extra liquid.
- Meanwhile, chop the strawberries and mix with the granulated sugar. Place into a strainer over a bowl and let the strawberries sit for 4 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator to drain the excess liquid.
- Add the strained ricotta and heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whisk the mixture until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and whisk just until combined. Add the strained strawberries and stir by hand to incorporate.
- For the waffle cookie: Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the flour, salt, cardamom, milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
- For the cannoli: Heat a krumkake iron on medium. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
- When the iron is ready, spray cooking spray lightly on both sides. Add 1 tablespoon of the batter in the center. (Use another spoon to help scoop out the batter from your tablespoon, because the batter is slightly thick.) Close the iron and cook the waffle cookies for 1 1/2 minutes. Working quickly, open the iron and immediately roll one of the waffle cookies with a non-metal spoon over a krumkake mold. Remove to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool in the mold. Repeat with the other waffle cookie. Each cookie will crisp up as it cools, about 2 minutes. Gently slide the waffle cookie off the krumkake mold and repeat with the remaining batter.
- For the chocolate sauce: Fill a pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and fit a heat resistant bowl into the pot. (The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water.) The steam will heat and melt the chocolate. Add the chocolate chips and the coconut oil to the bowl and stir to melt.
- Working quickly, dip the larger end of a waffle cookie in the chocolate and return the cookie to the parchment-lined sheet tray to cool. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Place the tray of cookies into the fridge or freezer to quickly cool, approximately 10 minutes.
- Snip the end of a piping bag, then place it into a tall glass and fold the top of the bag over the lip of the glass. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the strawberry filling into the piping bag. Twist the top to close.
- Taking one waffle cookie at a time, pipe the strawberry filling into the cone. Sprinkle with the crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Repeat with the remaining waffle cookies. Serve.

NORWEGIAN KRUMKAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND CLOUDBERRIES
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.

SCANDINAVIAN CHRISTMAS CRISPY KRUMKAKE
Both the Norwegians and Swedes make krumkake, the thin, crisp cookie that is baked in a special krumkake iron. The iron in heated on top of the range on a burner and looks something like a waffle iron without deep grids. Krumkake irons usually have a fancy swirled design that imprints on the cookie. It takes special skill to eat these fragile cookies as well as patience to make them! But it isn't Christmas without them in a Scandinavian household.

KRUMKAKE / KRUMKAKER
This is a VEGAN recipe for the Norwegian cookie that is baked on a cookie iron. This recipe is suitable for a pizzelle iron, as well. One cookie is a Krumkake, two or more are Krumkaker. I devised this recipe using vegan ingredients after being unable to find a krumkake recipe suitable to a vegan diet. The taste of flax seed is not noticeable in this recipe. These are delightful holiday treats!

Steps:
- In a blender, grind flax seed into meal.
- Add the 1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon water and blend until incorporated, then pour into a mixing bowl.
- Add the sugar, Crisco, soy milk (vanilla flavored works fine,) and vanilla extract and mix well with a wooden spoon.*.
- Add 1 1/2 cups flour and stir until incorporated. Add additional flour only to make a very soft dough, up to the remaining 1/2 cup, but not necessarily the full amount, The mixture should be thicker than a batter, but not a stiff dough. Less flour makes a lighter, crisper cookie. More flour makes a thicker cookie.
- Allow the dough to rest while heating the cookie iron.
- Spray krumkake iron with oil prior to placing dough for each cookie, or as needed to prevent sticking.
- When cookie iron is ready, spoon approximately one tablespoon of batter to make each five inch cookie. The cookie is done when steam stops escaping from the sides of the cookie iron and the cookies are very lightly browned.
- Remove cookies from iron by rolling over a wooden krumkake pin, wooden spoon handle, or with a non-metal spatula to make flat cookies.
- Place on cookie racks to cool before stacking.
- Repeat to use remaining dough.
- Cooking time is approximate and depends on how quickly or slowly the cook can roll a krumkake!
- Cookies are best stored in tins to retain their crispness.
- Fill with vegan frosting, fruit, or whatever pleases you. Dust with powdered sugar if you like. They are fine without, as well.
- *1/2 teaspoon cardamom or cinnamon, or any other spice may be added to the mix prior to the flour if you like.
