Trollkrem Recipe
When it comes to desserts that require little effort yet grace both the table and the palate with such class, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a dish as impactful as Trollkrem.
Literally translating to ‘Troll cream’, it is mind-blowing how a dessert that consists only of four ingredients and can be made in a matter of minutes, can deliver such a powerful and truly memorable flavor.
What is Trollkrem?
In essence, Trollkrem is a lingonberry mousse-like dessert, made by whipping lingonberry jam and raw egg whites together with a little vanilla and a pinch of salt until you achieve a thick and airy, mouse-like consistency. It really is that simple.
What are Lingonberries?
Known for their deep, tart, and sour flavor, lingonberries are native to the snow forests of the Northern Hemisphere. Hence, you will find wild lingonberries growing on the evergreen shrubs of forests in Canada, Alaska, North America, and Scandinavia.
Loaded with nutrients, these berries are hugely popular in Scandinavian cuisines, especially Swedish and Norweigian. They are close in flavor to cranberries but taste unique in their own right.
This recipe calls for lingonberry jam and, while you’ll struggle to find lingonberry products in most supermarkets, we found lingonberry jam in Ikea. So if you’re planning to make this super simple dessert, you’ve now got a valid excuse to schedule in a trip to everyone’s favorite Swedish department store!
