Swedish Creme with Fruit Compote

August 11, 2022

I was first introduced to this dessert by my mom a few years ago. Interestingly enough, it wasn't the taste that inspired me to make it. It was the attractive way she presented it to me via a phone message.

Given the fact that she lives in KY and I live in MT, the reality is that I don't often have the chance anymore to taste her dishes. She was the one that taught me to love good food. Ironically, I did not enjoy cooking or baking while I was at home. But my mom's patient example and constant array of good food must have made a difference, because now I certainly love to create good food and provide delicious meals. :)

And now my mom and I will often exchange food pictures and/or recipes via phone messages. And when she sent me a picture of her dessert, I knew I had to try it too. :)

The good news is that it is as tasty as it looks. The berries and fresh fruit compote give it a bright, lively flavor. The creme is almost like a solid custard type with a smooth, creamy finish.

Its bright and refreshing and it definitely something I will be making more often. Also, its husband approved so that makes it worth it too. ;)

I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did!

Swedish Creme with Fruit Compote

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Creamy, bright and delightful

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons natural beef gelatin
  • 1/3 cup cold water
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 /4 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 cup vanilla bean Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon organic vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the gelatin in cold water and allow to sit for 1 minute.
  2. Combine whipping cream, sugar, salt, and soaked gelatin in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until gelatin is dissolved.
  3. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool for 10 minutes. Mix in the yogurt, sour cream, and vanilla.
  4. Pour the mixture in to a Jell-o mold or into individual dessert dishes. Refrigerate until firm.
  5. For the fruit compote, boil preferred amount of berries, a little bit of water and sweetener of choice in a small saucepan.
  6. Cook and stir until your mixture is slightly thick but still pourable. Cool completely before using.
  7. Drizzle over the chilled creme, letting it drip down the sides. Serve with additional berries and mint leaves if desired.

Notes

I used organic cane sugar but you could use stevia and sweeten it to taste, to make it a sugar free dessert. If you prefer sugar free, make sure to also use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt instead of the vanilla bean.
