Chokoladekage med appelsin (Chocolate-Orange Cake)
It’s winter, and you know what that means – citrus season! Whether you prefer oranges, grapefruit, or lemons, the freshness of winter citrus is unbeatable.
Kardemummabullar (Swedish Cardamom Buns)
These cardamom-spiced buns are probably one of our favorite sweet buns. And that’s hard for us to admit, as we’re Danish and these buns hail from Sweden.
Medaljer (Pastry Cream Cakes)
These medaljer, or pastry cream cakes, are a decadent and delicious treat perfect for a dinner party or gathering. Medaljer literally translates to “medals.”
Kransekage (Marzipan Wreath Cake)
This dessert is probably one of the most unique Scandinavian cakes we can think of. “Kransekage” translates to “wreath cake,” and is basically a stack of baked and decorated marzipan rings.
Romkugler (Chocolate Rum Truffles)
Christmas may be over, but that doesn’t mean we stop eating sweets! This awkward period between Christmas and New Year’s is the perfect time to kick back and enjoy life.
Finsk Brød (Danish Shortbread Cookies)
It’s December 24th, and we’ve been gearing up for this day for weeks! Tonight is the night that we Danes celebrate Christmas. And there is so much good food to look forward to!
Jødekager (Jewish Cookies)
These jødekager, or Jewish cookies, are one of our absolute favorite Christmas cookies. They’re pretty simple – a sugar and butter cookie as a base, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and chopped almonds.
Vaniljekranse (Vanilla Wreath Butter Cookies)
Vaniljekranse, which literally translates to “vanilla wreaths,” are a classic Danish butter cookie. They have a crisp, buttery texture, and lovely vanilla flavor.
Havregrynskugler (Oat Cocoa Balls)
These quick and easy havregrynskugler are so delicious! They have a rich chocolate flavor, and rolled oats give them a great texture. We love making them for the holidays!
