February in Scandinavia is the season of Fastelavn and fastelavnsboller. In Denmark, this holiday is similar to Carnival and involves children dressing up in costumes and hitting barrels filled with candy.
Today’s recipe is for a citronroulade, or lemon swiss roll. It consists of a fluffy and airy fatless sponge rolled up with super tart lemon curd and sweet whipped cream.
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!
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!
Happy June 1st! Summer is practically here, and although I guess we’ll have to wait 19 more days for it to be ~offically~ summer, we are certainly already enjoying the Vitamin D!
If you’re ever looking for an impressive dessert to make for any special occasion, this is the one. Cake is great and all, but choux pastry is supremely underrated as a dessert!
In every family, there are certain foods or dishes that bring back memories. In ours, it’s this birthday layer cake, called a fødselsdagslagkage, or just a lagkage.
A roulade is not technically a Danish dessert, but we would classify it as a classic, favorite cake in both Denmark and in our family. It is similar to a Swiss Roll but without cream or meringue.
Danish vandbakkelser are little puffs of choux pastry, usually cut in half and filled with kagecreme (pastry cream) or whipped cream, and jam. This type of pastry is always delicious!
