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)….
This is one of my favorit non-dessert snacks. They are perfect on the go and always reminds me of when I went on interrail through Germany and a couple of other countries in Europe. I’d often buy them while waiting on the train as a light lunch. I prefer not to add too much salt…
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…
In Denmark, we have a tradition of waking our family member with a birthday song, presents, and a nice breakfast (with Danish pastry of cause) on their birthday. This is a tradition I really love. And I think this is the root cause of my love for breakfast – being with family during a delicious…
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…
Super simple berry smoothie made with lots of different berries. I used frozen berries, since they are not in season in Denmark right now. This smoothie was perfect as a refreshment for a workshop I did a couple of days ago. And, alike all other smoothies, it’s super easy to make!
Here’s a new slightly modified version of my chocolate chip cookies, this time with Nutella! If you don’t want to buy or have vegan hazelnut/chocolate spread, then regular spread works as well (e.g. Nutella). The longer you bake these, the more the spread will soak into the cookies. Consequently, you wont have a soft middle…
I put for what is probably about a year ago a recipe up on the blog for delicious Danish “træstammer”. This is a vegan updated, which is very similar to the old “regular” recipe. “Træstammer” is a traditional Danish cake, which you can buy in almost every bakery. The name directly translated is “lodge”. It…
