This thick and creamy dessert is my interpretation of my mother's recipe for Swedish krem. It has just a hint of almond flavor and looks spectacular with bright red berries on top. Serve it in glasses to match the occasion. -Linda Nilsen, Anoka, Minnesota

SWEDISH CREAM

This is a dish my sister makes for special occasions. It is not too sweet and it's very rich and creamy. If you like a sweeter dish, double the sugar. This makes for a lovely presentation that looks like you went to a lot of effort but didn't.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

200 ml heavy cream
1 banana
1 mango
1 apple
1 pear
6 grapes
4 strawberries
1/2 cup icing sugar
2 drops vanilla essence

Steps:

  • Cut fruit into small pieces (I usually dice them). Grapes can be cut horizontally into 3 parts.
  • Put the cream in a medium bowl and add sugar. Stir slowly until mixed well. Add more sugar if the taste is creamy. The taste should be sweet not creamy. Now add vanilla and mix well. Add all the fruit and mix again. Chill and serve.
  • Consume on the same day as it would end up turning sour.
  • The consistency of this dessert should not be liquid. The fruits should be well coated with the cream.
  • You can also add a number of variations of your choice such as chocolate chips or cocoa powder or almond essence--lots of other things, but we usually enjoy it plain.
  • If conscious about calories in cream , you can also substitute the cream with beaten yogurt.

MOR-MOR WALLBERG'S FRUKTSOPPA (SWEDISH FRUIT SOUP)



Mor-Mor Wallberg's Fruktsoppa (Swedish Fruit Soup) image

I'm of mixed European heritages. My two grandmothers were Swedish and Italian/French so my cooking influences are varied and eclectic. This recipe is something that my Swedish grandmother, and later my mother, made during holidays among other very traditional dishes such as Limpa (Sweet Rye Bread) so now it's become a comfort...

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 c dried apricots, pitted
3/4 c dried prunes, pitted
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c golden raisins or white raisins
6 c water
1 c fruit juice (mixed fruit/white grape-peach/your preference)(i prefer to make strawberry or raspberry gelatin using half the water called for (unrefrigerated) into a juice and omit the sugar.)
2 stick cinnamon - broken in half
1/2 lemon, halved and sliced thin
1/4 c quick cooking tapioca
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c orange - peeled, diced or 1 small can mandarin oranges
1 apple - peeled, cored, and sliced or diced
optional: to spice this up, you can add a pinch of powdered nutmeg or cloves

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, soak the apricots, prunes, and raisins in 6 cups of water for 30 minutes.
  • 2. Add juice (or gelatin mixture), cinnamon, lemon, tapioca and sugar (and optional nutmeg or cloves) and bring to a boil.
  • 3. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • 4. Uncover and add the apple slices and simmer an additional 5 minutes, or more, until the apples are tender.
  • 5. When the soup is "done", the fruit should be plumped and tender and the consistency of the "soup" should be similar to a cooked pie filling before it's cooled. If this does not happen (I've had this happen at different altitudes, etc.), mix tapioca starch with a little cold water and add to the mixture, a little at a time, until the consistency is right. Add a little water or juice if the mixture is too thick.
  • 6. Pour the mixture into a bowl and cool at room temperature. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
  • 7. Can be served warm, room temperature, cold, or frozen. The most common accompaniment is cream or ice cream.
  • 8. To each serving: 1 tsp Wine, rum, cognac or other liquors can be added, at serving time, to make this into an adult version or during cooking to add to the flavor.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of dried fruits: This will give your cream a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include raisins, cranberries, apricots, and figs.
  • Soak the dried fruits in hot water before using them: This will help to soften them and make them more flavorful.
  • Use a good quality cream: This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your finished dish.
  • Don't overcook the cream: This can cause it to curdle or become too thick.
  • Serve the cream warm or cold, depending on your preference: It is delicious either way.

Conclusion:

Swedish dried fruit cream is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it warm or cold, this cream is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give Swedish dried fruit cream a try.
