Who doesn’t love a simple, quick trifle for dessert on a hot summer day? This is a dessert that absolutely screams summer, and it’s super easy to put together!
Islagkage (Raspberry-Vanilla Ice Cream Cake)
Summertime means warm weather and lots of sun. And the best dessert to eat in the summer weather? Ice cream. This is the ice cream version of a classic Danish birthday cake!
Sveskestang (Prune-filled Danish Pastry)
Prunes. A word that many look at in disgust, associating them with their high fiber content and thus, their ~not so fun~ effects on the digestive system.
Cremestang (Vanilla Cream Danish Pastry)
If you’ve been to a bakery in Denmark, you’ve most likely seen one of these featured in the display case. This pastry is called a “cremestang,” literally meaning “cream stick.”

Spandauer (Danish Pastry with Custard or Jam)
Spandauer are a very popular Danish pastry, and you can find multiple kinds of spandauer in every bakery in Denmark. Spandauer is just a name, and doesn’t have a direct English translation.
