Easy Norwegian Desserts
The Norwegian people have distinct recipes for any occasion, be it a simple breakfast or a holiday ceremony. A typical dish in Norway consists of brown cheese served on bread, as well as cold meats (including whale) and open-faced sandwiches. Norwegians also have several tantalizing desserts made of whipping cream and sour cream and lots of sugar.
Madeira Cream
If you are in the mood for cookies, you can use this sweet Norwegian cream as a dip of sorts for the cookie of your choice. Combine two or three egg yolks with one-third of a cup of sugar, blending the mixture until it becomes lemon-colored. Add one-half cup of Madeira wine a little at a time while you do this. When the concoction is well-blended, fold in a cup of whipping cream. Once this is done, your Madeira Cream is ready to be served with cookies.
Norwegian Rice Pudding (Risengrynsgrøt)
Have a hankering for rice pudding? Try making the authentic Norwegian version. First, boil water, adding one cup of white rice and one-half teaspoon of salt. Bring the mix to a boil again, sprinkling in a few raisins if you like. Cover the pot with a lid and wait for the water to evaporate, leaving only the rice in the pot. Add four to five cups of milk, depending on your desired consistency, and heat until the milk is absorbed. Serve after the rice has cooled a bit, adding cinnamon, sugar and butter on top.
Sour Cream Dessert Omelet
The Norwegians really came up with something unusual when they created the dessert omelet, a treat for when you wake up in the morning. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Blend one cup of whipping cream and one cup of sour cream with one tbsp. sugar. On the side, mix six egg yolks with one tbsp. of sugar until well-blended. Fold the egg mixture into the creams. Add two-thirds of a cup of flour into this new blend. Beat six egg whites together and add to the concoction. Grease a pan and pour in the mixture. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
