Nordic Desserts
Nordic desserts are traditional sweets from the Nordic countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. These desserts often feature simple, natural ingredients like berries, cream, and spices. Popular treats include kanelbullar (cinnamon buns), kladdkaka (sticky chocolate cake), and rødgrød med fløde (red berry pudding with cream).
Many Nordic desserts emphasize seasonal and local produce, reflecting the region's agricultural practices. They are typically less sweet than desserts from other cultures, focusing on the flavors of the ingredients. Celebrations and holidays often feature specific desserts, such as lussekatter (saffron buns) during Lucia Day.
