Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Additional Time: 4 hrs 10 mins
Total Time: 4 hrs 30 mins
Servings: 6
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup heavy cream
  2. 3 tablespoons water
  3. ½ cup sugar
  4. 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
  5. 1 cup sour cream
  6. ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  7. ½ teaspoon almond extract
  8. 1 cup frozen lingonberries, thawed

Instructions

  1. Combine the cream, water, sugar, and gelatin in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the gelatin has dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly until thickened, about 10 minutes; it should be the consistency of beaten eggs. Fold in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Pour into a mold, cover, and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  2. Loosen from mold by dipping into hot water. Invert onto a serving plate to unmold. Pour lingonberries over top.
  3. If you don’t have frozen lingonberries, you can use any sweetened, thawed frozen fruit, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for the topping!

I had this when we lived in Sweden, however it was made by an American. The lingonberries definitely made it Swedish to me. Easy to make, flavoring / berries can be changed, and it’s lovely.
Dylan Wallace
didn’t make any changes and it was a bit firmer than I remembered it – perhaps I cooked it a bit too much. Still a hit!
Laura Moss
Delicious! I did change the sugar amount to 3/4 cup, though.

Wow! What a delicious take on dessert. It’s a nice break from the heavier cakes and pies that are typical for dessert. I did sub fresh blueberries and raspberries for the lingonberries, only because my store didn’t offer the lingonberries. Also, I doubled the extracts as that is how my family always prefers the use of the extracts. While it was still super delicious, the vanilla and almond were right on the edge of being too much. While my family loved the stronger flavor, many people won’t. I would recommend NOT to follow in my footsteps on that. The beauty of this desert is the subtlety of it, and the author of this recipe mastered it. Don’t tweak as I did.

I had to try it again, but it received rave reviews!
Meredith Sheppard
This dessert is a staple at one of the ski lodges in the north shore of Lake Superior. This recipe tastes just how I remember it. Delicious and so easy to make. It’s wonderful with tart berries.
David Lane
This is so easy and simple. I always make this at Christmas. I do put it in individual dishes so each person has a treat of their own
Ashley Gutierrez
Really don’t recognize this dessert in any of my Swedish cookbooks. It reminds me more of that Italian dessert Panna Cotta or other Vanilla Pudding wich I love, serves perfectly after dinner with fresh berries and chocolate flakes on top. But Swedish? Doubtfully.

I have made this for years. Note: If you need more you must make two separate batches. You can not double the recipe as it won’t set properly. ENJOY!
Kenneth Williams
This recipe is excellent! The dessert came out perfectly! I followed the exact directions only leaving out the almond extract and doubling the vanilla (only because we’re not almond flavor fans). So delicious and creamy, my family has many requests for this! Thanks EmeraldCityJewel!
