Delicious hot drink for the cold winter weather. This drink is super easy to make and can either be made as described in the recipe below. You can minimize the bitter taste from the black tea by not boiling the tea in step 5 and instead putting the rest of the milk in the pot…
Another recipe inspired by the 100-year-old Danish recipe book I read this summer. I found this recipe for lemon nuts pretty exciting when I stumpled upon it. I imagine that your eat them during the winter / for Christmas (like “pebernødder”), but I’m not sure. In the recipe, they used quite a lot of deer…
Here’s a quick and dirty schnapps recipe. This was the only recipe out of three that turned out really good – I also tried sea buckthorn and blackberries, but both of these schnapps’ did not taste like much. This recipe, on the other hand has a strong taste of licorice and chili! And it does…
This dessert is eaten as the dessert at Christmas Eve in Denmark (that’s when we celebrate Christmas). There will be one whole almond in the dish. The guest, who finds it in his/her dessert gets a present – but they are not allowed to tell that they have it before all the dessert has been…
Made these as part of the breakfast of the 25th of December (the morning after the celebration of Christmas in Denmark) and they were very tasty. They contains lots of cardamom, cinnamon, candied peel, raisins and nuts. I love how Christmas dishes are always full of spices! At Christmas you can buy these everywhere in…
Happy 4th Sunday of Advent! During my summer vacation I went through a 100 years old Danish pastry cook book. One of the recipes in the book was this vanilla wreath (which I assume is a Christmas cookie). I have altered the recipe so that it is vegan (by using plant based milk and butter)….
You might remember my oat balls from last year’s Christmas with apricot and orange. This year, I’m trying coffee and cranberries. And I’ve also been experimenting with making these without the use of conventional or vegan butter. This has been quite a struggle, since butter is a large part of the dessert. But I settled…
It’s first advent today. I’ll be celebrating eating these delicious vegan snowballs. They are super easy and fast to make, too. You can buy these snowballs in the supermarkets in Denmark during Christmas. However, I find that they are much more delicious when homemade (probably because I use more marcipan and less sugar than the…
At Christmas you can buy these everywhere in Denmark. They are e.g. eaten during breakfast or at afternoon tea. They really taste like Christmas, too: With cardamom, cinnamon, candied peel, and raisins in the dough and sugar and nuts on top. I love how Christmas dishes are always full of spices!
Heres another Danish Christmas Dessert. They are called “Jew Cakes” in Danish (not sure why). The dough is very basic and mainly consist of flour and butter and some spices. The cake is garnished with egg, sugar, and cinnamon (and possibly also chopped almonds). These cakes are a treat to make as well, since you…
