Scandinavia is best-known for its captivating scenery, yet its delicious cuisine should not be overlooked. Since we’re all about what’s for dessert, these next few entries will introduce you to the best of the traditional dessert delicacies made famous by northern Europe.
To start us off, Norway takes the cake, once again, with its mouth-watering cloudberries and whipped cream delight. Just the name “cloudberries” makes you wonder what it would be like to taste the sky – and we can assure you – it is oh-so vivid and sweet.
Norway is home to all kinds of berries – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc. – and they all deliver a deep flavor beyond comparison. That’s because fruit and berries mature more slowly in the cold climate of Norway’s mountains. This process creates fewer berries, but a more intense, invigorating taste. The wild-growing cloudberry has long been a Norwegian delicacy that you will find served with whipped or plain cream on most special occasions. After you experience the Akerhus Fortress and Resistance Museum or make your way out to Bgydøy, seek out a restaurant such as the famous Frognersetern and ask them to serve you up some Norwegian cloudberry dessert. You won’t be disappointed!
