Vispipuuro

Vispipuuro, also known as klappgröt or klappkräm, is a cherished sweet dessert porridge in both Finland and Sweden. Made from wheat semolina and traditionally flavored with lingonberries, this dish is a delightful treat that is both simple and satisfying.

In Sweden, the preparation often begins by adding lingonberry cordial to the water used for cooking the semolina. This step helps create a smooth texture without any berry bits in the final product. After cooking, the porridge is allowed to cool before the magic happens: it's whipped vigorously until it turns light and fluffy, almost mousse-like in consistency.

A useful tip for achieving the perfect texture is to place the pot of porridge in a sink partially filled with cold water while whisking it with a hand mixer. This helps cool the mixture quickly and makes it easier to whip.

Vispipuuro is typically served with milk and a sprinkle of sugar, providing a comforting and sweet conclusion to any meal. While lingonberries are the traditional choice, you can also experiment with other fruits like redcurrants, cranberries, apricots, gooseberries, or strawberries for delicious variations. Enjoy!
