Today, of course, we use
electric mixers to make the magical troll cream. You may substitute chopped cranberries
for the lingonberries, but be sure they are very ripe, and adjust sugar
accordingly.
2
cups (5 dl) lingonberries (see picture), or
1/2 cup (1 1/4 dl) lingonberry jam
2/3 cup (1 1/2 dl) sugar
2 egg whites, from large eggs
Wash berries and remove
all unripe berries and foreign objects. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl
and beat until the volumes quadruples. about 15 minutes. If you are using
lingonberry jam, omit sugar. Serve in a crystal dessert bowl sprinkled with a
few lingonberries. If available, add a few mint leaves. Cookies are a great
accompaniment, or serve in Crisp Wafer Cups
A different kind of troll
cream combining the lingonberries with currants and strawberries, and topping it
off with vanilla sauce.
1
1/2 cups (3-4 dl) lingonberries or
1 cup (2 1/2 dl) red currant plus 1/2 cup (1 1/4 dl) strawberries or raspberries
1 cup (2 1/2 dl) sugar
2 egg whites
