Swedish Rice Dessert

Sun, 25 Jan 2004 20:00:22 -0500

This is a yummy and very pretty dish to serve at Christmas and other holidays. Great for potlucks too. The 20 minutes cooking time is for cooking the rice. -- posted by Darlene Summers

Amazing Solan Family Chocolate Cake (Aka 3-Hole Cake)

Wed, 04 Feb 2004 19:59:57 -0500

This is a Swedish cake recipe; I got it from a dear friend who made it at several parties during college and always got rave reviews. Now I'm the one who gets all the credit when I make it : ) My family loves it; I play the "guess-the-secret-ingredient" game (the vinegar) and no one ever has... though they've guessed everything from peanut butter to cheese! I love it because it's relatively "healthy" (no dairy, no eggs, low-fat), while it's still amazingly moist and chocolaty and dense. (You can make it even lower fat if you use only 1/4 C oil and sub. 1/2 C applesauce). -- posted by brittmarie

Grammie Miller's Swedish Apple Pie

Thu, 19 Feb 2004 19:59:47 -0500

My grandmother is a full blooded Swede and she got this recipe from her mother, who came over to America in the late 1800's. She used to make this dessert for my sisters, brother, and I when we were young. We all LOVED it, and I cherish the recipe... This is definately one of my FAVORITE desserts, one of the BEST I have ever had the pleasure of eating! It is so DELICIOUS, everyone loves it that I share it with, and wants the recipe. Try it. Your family will love it as much as mine does! -- posted by Linda's Busy Kitchen

Chokladbollar/Kokosbollar/Graddbullar/Mumsmums

Tue, 06 Apr 2004 20:00:03 -0400

Good things come with many names. Swedish treat but also very common in Denmark. I've posted this to a recipe request. They are very easy to make and easy to eat as well! If you can't get hold of thin wafers, use very thin sugar cookies--the one's that you can roll the dough into a log and cut very thin slices to bake. I give the mesurements in ml and grams. Use an electric whisk for the best fluffy mixture, I use my Kitchenaid. These make 40 according to the recipe, but that depends on how big a base you use and how high you make them. Enjoy! -- posted by MarieFromSweden

Swedish Country Inn's Rusks

Fri, 02 Jul 2004 20:00:22 -0400

The Swedish Country Inn is a B&B in Lindsborg, Kansas..."Little Sweden USA." A town too small to have a stoplight, with cobblestone streets and Dala horses adorning all the houses, this hamlet is the heart of Swedish Kansas pioneer history and host to a huge biannual Swedish festival that draws thousands. How do I know? I went to college in that tiny town (our mascot was the Swede, go figure!). My mother often stayed at the Swedish Country Inn when she came to visit and became absolutely addicted to their rusks (kind of the Swedish answer to biscotti; dunk these in your coffee rather than eating them like biscuits). Even 15 years later, if I was anywhere in the area I would stop and pick some up for her...at least until I found the recipe for myself! :o) -- posted by winkki

Swedish Rice Pudding

Mon, 29 Nov 2004 20:00:15 -0500

This family favorite came from my great-grandmother Ida Maria, who was born in 1887. She grew up in Dalarna, a province in Sweden, and moved to the United States when she was 16. And now we prepare this recipe every year for the holidays. I love it! It you want, serve with Lingonberries. -- posted by Bec

Swedish Butter Cookies

Tue, 21 Dec 2004 20:00:24 -0500

From 'Taste of Home Cookies' - These are a crisp butter cookie with a secret ingredient. What coffee does for chocolate, the very small amount of maple syrup does for these butter cookies - rich, buttery, mmmmm! The dough rolls into logs and I cut with a pizza cutter for quick production. -- posted by Connie K

Swedish Rice Pudding

Wed, 06 Apr 2005 12:23:38 -0400

This is a "Land o'Lakes" recipe. It is a very delicious rice pudding, and would be sublime topped with a strawberry, blueberry or rasberry sauce. It is very simple and very homey, quite the comfort food. I am sure the meringue can be left off quite easily if you are not a meringue lover. -- posted by Naturalbohemian

Pepparkakor Balls

Sun, 12 Jun 2005 21:17:18 -0400

From the "Scandinavian and American Recipes" cookbook, which contains recipes submitted by parents and friends of the Svenskarnas Dag Girls Choir.

This is a recipe I found on a Web site awhile back but don't remember which one...grrr...old age strikes again. Posting this for ZWT II 2006 Scandinavia. Just a note Zandbakeiser tins are little tart tins 2 to 3 inches in diameter with fluted edges, but if you don't want to go out and spend a bunch of money on this just use your mini muffin pans they work just fine.

These Muffins can be made with other chocolates too! Dajm is a Swedish chocolate that you can find in IKEA or other supermarkets. I had to use Snickers because it didn't work with dajm. The dajms should be small. They are sold in portion packages, otherwise, chop them. -- posted by Helena #3

Gamma's Swedish Pancakes

Mon, 21 May 2007 22:36:41 -0400

These are thin pancakes. Trust the process-batter is very thin and runny! We always roll them up into little logs to serve with toppings or stuff rolled inside. It's fun for the kids to pick their own toppings. They 'keep' well, and it doesn't hurt the quality to collect them on a dish in the oven while you cook the whole batch so everyone can eat together. Save the leftovers, they microwave great! -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Scrumptious Swedish Apple Pie

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:26:33 -0400

This doesn't have the typical pie crusts that Americans are used to. Instead, it is more like a coffee cake or cobbler. The batter is mixed with the apples and the whole mixture is baked in a pie plate. Much easier than a traditional crusted pie, and a nice change of pace with a delicious topping. -- posted by Alskann

Midsummer Swedish Strawberry Compote - Jordgubbskräm

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:09:20 -0400

Midsummer would not be Midsummer without strawberries, and this is a simple Swedish recipe to make, to celebrate Midsummer, wherever you may be! In Scandinavia, the summer solstice is a magical time. The lavender twilight lasts until 11 p.m. and the day breaks again at about 2 a.m.; above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't sink below the horizon for weeks. This year, 2007, Midsummer Eve, the beginning of the three day official holiday, falls on June 25. Throughout Scandinavia, families and friends gather to decorate the maypole with birch leaves and wildflowers, make flower crowns for women and girls, dance around the maypole, sing summer songs and feast on pickled herring, new potatoes, and aquavit. In addition, many families have their own special foods that they traditionally serve as the Midsummer meal. These are usually dishes that can be prepared ahead of time and easily served outdoors. -- posted by French Tart

Norwegian Cloudberry Cream With Lavender and Vanilla

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:23:25 -0400

This is a twist on the traditional way of serving cloudberries in Norway, I have added lavender and vanilla to enhance the ephemeral flavour of this delicate arctic berry. A member of the rose family, cloudberry bushes produce delicious yellow/orange berries that are highly prized in Scandinavia. Smaller than blackberries and raspberries, cloudberries are picked at the end of July and the beginning of August. The cloudberry is almost exclusively sold fresh or made into jam, but it's also used in liqueurs and as a filling in sweets and chocolates. They are difficult to substitute - but I imagine raspberries or lingonberries would be a lovely idea if you cannot get cloudberries. -- posted by French Tart

Rosettes

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 11:08:44 -0400

These are extremely delicate fried pastry shells that are made using rosette irons. I got this recipe from a neighbor back in the 70's.

Amazing & Easy Basic Crepes

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 18:01:23 -0400

I got this recipe from an OLD "Pillsbury Kitchens' Family Cookbook". I have been using this recipe since I was in High School, so that should tell you how EASY they are to put together and they are such a hit! You can do anything with them. Add fruits for a yummy breakfast dish, chicken and cheeses for a dinner dish (VERY good), or sweet fillings and powdered sugar for a dessert. -- posted by Ms. Baker

Swedish Apple Cake

Sat, 13 Oct 2007 02:09:53 -0400

This is a super easy, super tasty recipe that my mom used to make all of the time when I was a kid. This is a wonderful dessert (or even breakfast) in the fall--though it is more like a cobbler then a cake (the more apples you use, the more cobbler-like)! Also, I'm not sure that it really is a Swedish recipe as it was shared by a Greek neighbor, but it is still great! Update: I realize that it seems strange, but this recipe really doesn't need extra leavening--I have double-checked a number of times as it seems like it should have some! Though I don't think it would hurt to add some... :-) -- posted by Dwynnie

Pepparkakor Cookies

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 22:54:47 -0500

This is the recipe we used for my daughters Girl Scout troop on international day about 10 years or so ago and Ive been making ever since. I think this recipe is a little different from most Pepparkakor recipes because it uses a little maple syrup. The recipe was handed out by the troop leader and if I recall correctly, it is from the American Girl Cookbook-Kristens Cookbook but Iam not 100 % sure anymore-its been awhile;) -- posted by Antifreesz

Nougat With Almonds & Hazelnuts

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:53:37 -0500

This candy is really simple to make and is very tasty...great for any occasion, especially if you're rather strapped for time! Look for hazelnut nougat in the baking aisle or in specialty cooking shops. It's the same stuff that's on the inside of Three Musketeers bars, so if you're desperate, you can peel off the chocolate coating and use that (yes, I have done this!). -- posted by damienducks

Swedish Biscotti

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:45:20 -0500

This recipe comes from my husband's grandmother. In Swedish it is called Svenska Mandel Skorpar or Swedish Toast. It resembles biscotti but has cardamon in it not chocolate nor anise. It is wonderful with tea and keeps well if stored in a dry container. The best flavor of cardamon is fresh--remove the outside pod, put the seeds into a plastic ziplock bag, put the sealed bag on cement floor, and pound with a hammer and you have ground cardamon. This is the method my MIL taught me:) The original recipe says "a pinch of salt and soda" so that is why I have it here that way:) -- posted by WiGal

Found this on a Swedish recipe site some time ago. It makes a lot of cookies but they keep well and can also be frozen. Don't let the amount of ginger as well as the amount of baking soda scare you off. It is just right for these cookies. Hope you'll like them as much as we do. -- posted by Chef Dudo

This is a healthy yet oh so delicious version of a traditional Swedish cake recipe. Don't be thrown by the vinegar--it's the secret ingredient! -- posted by catercow

There are several versions of this recipe. This one has evolved from rainy autumn afternoons in the company of a coup of tea, a film and a friend. It works just fine without the dark chocolate, which also can be substituted with basically any chocolate of your preferrance. However, the cocoa is essential; add as much as you please. Enjoy! -- posted by Selleri

May's Applecake

Originally found with a sack of apples in the cellar of a home in Sweden, this recipe proved to be quite popular amongst my family for years. The cake which is a cross between an apple pie and an apple cake has a lovely rich texture, tastes great and is very simple to make. -- posted by Kiki1978

Toscakaka / Tosca Cake (Swedish Almond Cake)

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:16:15 -0500

This recipe comes from a collection that my swedish mom and her friends put together for a hospital benefit cookbook many years ago when we lived in Omaha, NE. (Around the time I was born - 31 years ago...:) They created and entire Scandinavian section! Recipes like this one have been in my life since I was a child and now I'm making them for my family! This is fabulous cake that goes really well with an afternoon cup of coffee - Enjoy! -- posted by mamapantalones

I got this recipe when I bought a cool looking pan. It's meant to go in there, but would work just as well in a loaf pan. This cake is very almondy and moist! -- posted by Chef #1051101

Toscaboard (Swedish Almond Cookies)

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:53:11 -0400

This recipe came from an October 1986 article in Bon Appetit by Lena Cederham Birnbaum. They make a really nice addition to a dessert table or a coffee party and are best served the same they are baked. The recipe is long but they are not hard to make. I've searched the net looking for this recipe and have found nothing other than some other people also searching so hopefully posting it here will help other lost souls like me who misplaced this great recipe. -- posted by Marysdottir

Ginger Snaps (Pepparkakor)

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:13:43 -0400

Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without these cookies on the Smorgasboard table. We cut them in all kinds of shapes, stars, hearts, goats, reindeer, you name it. Don't just save them for the holidays, however, these are great any time of the year. It's key to roll these very thin before cutting out, as that is what gives the cookie it's traditional "snap". These cookies are a bit of work, but the dough freezes beautifully, so make a batch of dough, cut and bake a few, then freeze the rest for another day. -- posted by IngridH

Sheila's Swedish Creme

This is a "must have" on our Christmas dessert table, but it is equally as good any time of year, or for any occasion. Although I use berries, it is wonderful with all different fresh fruits, such as kiwi or peaches. It is also very versatile and can be layered with fruit in a parfait dish if you prefer, nestled in a puff pastry or dessert shell, or set in a mold. We always serve it in one large stemmed glass bowl. Preparation time does not include chilling time. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Swedish Chocolate Cake

Usually this includes a lot of additional eggs, sugar and butter but no flour - which makes it good as well but somewhat richer. I changed the recipe as i could not be bothered to whip the egg whites and care for the batter to cool down in order to add the yolks. So i went for a little four instead and gave it a try. What a treat! I love it! It is just too easy to be good :-) Enjoy with vanilla icecream. Note: You can use any chocolate you like but i recomend good quality chocolate with at leat 60% cacao. -- posted by Iceland
