About the dish

An airy, cold berry sauce from the dessert-sauce chapter of «Stor kokebok» (1914). The gelatin keeps the foam aloft – a typically refined party sauce for puddings and mousses.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Boil the cream

    Boil 1½ dl cream with the split vanilla bean for 5 minutes. Dissolve the soaked gelatin in the hot cream.

  2. 2

    Whip the eggs

    Whip the eggs for a quarter of an hour until they are pale and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Thicken with egg

    Pour the boiling cream into the eggs while whisking constantly. Set the pan over the heat and whisk until the mixture just reaches the boiling point, but do not let it boil.

  4. 4

    Strain and combine

    Strain the sauce, stir in the cold raspberry cordial, and finally fold in the rest of the cream, whipped stiff.

  5. 5

    Variation

    Strawberry sauce is made the same way.
