Impress your family and friends by serving a flambé dessert this holiday season. To flambé is to ignite foods that have liquor or liqueur added.  As the alcohol content is burned off, a rich flavour is left behind. Try using Slovenia’s national beverage – schnapps, which can be distilled from a variety of fruits, juniper or honey.

Combining holiday spices like clove, nutmeg and cinnamon with Hungary Urda cream cheese creates a delightful accompanying spread.  The silky texture is a common characteristics of Hungarian Urda cream cheese. The cheese is made from the whey of sheep, goat or cow’s milk. It is similar to ricotta in how it is produced.  A touch of Swedish lingonberry jam (plentiful in the forested areas of the Swedish inland) adds a sweet and tart composition to the dessert. The unique taste of European spirits, cheese and preserves in this dessert that will delight all of your guests.  This light-tasting dessert will be a hit at your holiday party.  It takes less than 20 minutes to prepare.
