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.

OMG is the nutritional information for one serving? 828cal per serving?!
Thatwas for one cup – the normal serving size is 1/2 cup and the recipe has been adjusted for that
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!
