Vispipuuro (Finnish whipped porridge) or klappgröt (Swedish name) is a sweet, wheat semolina (manna) dessert porridge made with berries, usually lingonberries. It's eaten in both Sweden and Finland. The semolina is cooked with the berries and also some kind of sweetener. After the mixture has cooled down, the porridge is vigorously whipped to a light, mousse-like consistency. The dessert is usually served with milk and sugar. Other berries and fruit that can be used are cranberries, apricots, gooseberries and strawberries. Ingredients:
1 liter water |
300 ml lingonberries |
150 ml sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
200 ml semolina or 7/8 cup semolina |
Directions:
1. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.
2. Mash the lingonberries and add them to the saucepan together with the sugar and salt.
3. Boil for approximately 10 minutes.
4. Strain the liquid and pour it back into the saucepan.
5. Add the semolina, stir well and cook at a low heat for 15 more minutes.
6. Set aside to cool. When the porridge has cooled, pour it into a mixing bowl and whip it with a hand mixer, until light.
