The Tale of Danish Rødgrød med Fløde
Story updated
Rødgrød med fløde, a sweetened red berry pudding topped with cream, is a traditional Danish summer dessert made from whatever soft red fruits — usually redcurrants, raspberries, or strawberries — were in season. It's also famous for being a Danish tongue-twister used to test foreigners' pronunciation, since its soft "d" sounds are notoriously tricky.
Ingredients
Scale:· 6 servings
- 500g mixed red berries (strawberries, raspberries, red currants)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 cups water
- 3 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream, for serving
- Sliced almonds, for garnish (optional)
