Today’s recipe is the perfect treat for your non chocolate lovers for Valentine’s Day or just about perfect for any day.
I love chocolate as much as the next person but there are actually times when I will pick a non chocolate dessert over a chocolate one. Can you believe it!? If I do, there is usually some kind of fruit involved. Chocolate seems to be the choice of the season with Valentine’s Day fast approaching but today I’d like to share with you a pretty and delicious dessert idea for all the non-chocolate lovers in your life. I bet the chocolate lovers are going to like it too though!

Todays recipe is called Swedish Cream for a reason – it is creamy! It is light and delicious and made even more yummy and pretty when it is topped with fresh fruit. It is the perfect light and lovely dessert for your Valentine.
A layer of fresh raspberry sauce on top is pretty much pure prefection.
If you are a fan of Italian Panna Cotta you are going to love the Swedish version!
Swedish Cream is a combination of whipping cream, sugar, yogurt and sour cream.
Who couldn’t help but fall in love with you this Valentine’s Day if you serve them Swedish Cream! Having a pretty clear dish to serve it in is important. Here is the one I used.
Just grab a spoon and dig in. It is pretty much heaven on a spoon.

That looks and sounds amazing– just the kind of dessert I’d love! Pinning! (I’d like to try it once as is, and then again w/ lemon curd.) Thanks for sharing.
can you make this the night before serving the next day?
Yes, it works well.
I live in a Swedish community in Kansas, and recently had this at a special event. It was so yummy, I had to look up the recipe. Did not find in my Swedish cookbooks, but found here on your site. Thanks!
I am so glad you loved it too – it is so good!!
