Ingredients
- 300 ml double cream (heavy cream)
- 300 g natural yoghurt (Greek yoghurt can be used for a thicker texture)
- 50 g dark muscovado sugar (can substitute with dark brown sugar or coconut sugar)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, use electric beaters or a hand whisk to whip 300 ml of double cream until firm peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can turn the cream grainy or into butter.
- Incorporate Yoghurt: Gently stir 300 g of natural yoghurt into the whipped cream until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Transfer to Serving Bowl: Scrape the creamy mixture into an attractive serving bowl and level the surface with a spatula for a neat presentation.
- Add the Sugar: Evenly sprinkle 50 g of dark muscovado sugar over the top of the cream and yoghurt mixture. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least one hour, allowing the sugar to dissolve and meld with the cream. If the sugar has not fully melted after an hour, leave it for an additional 30 minutes or longer as needed.
- Serve: Enjoy the Norwegian Cream chilled, paired with fresh berries, other fresh fruits, or a fruit salad. It pairs especially well with raspberries, strawberries, and ripe peaches for a delicious and refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Using Greek yoghurt will result in a thicker and slightly more calorific cream.
- Make sure not to overwhip the cream to avoid turning it into butter.
- Letting the sugar dissolve well in the fridge enhances the sweetness and texture of the dessert.
- Experiment with different fresh fruits to find your favorite pairing with Norwegian Cream.
- This recipe is quick to prepare and requires no cooking, making it ideal for a last-minute dessert option.
