Ingredients
- 200 grams Strawberries
- 200 grams Raspberries
- 150 grams Red currants
- 100 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract)
- 500 ml Water
- 3 tablespoons Potato starch (or cornstarch)
- 50 ml Cold water (for the starch)
- 200 ml Heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, raspberries, and red currants. Place them all in a medium saucepan.
Step 2
Add the sugar, vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract), and 500 ml of water to the saucepan.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Step 4
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes until the berries are soft and have released their juices.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing the berries to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
Step 6
Pour the strained juice back into the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over low heat.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk the potato starch (or cornstarch) with 50 ml of cold water to create a smooth slurry.
Step 8
Gradually stir the starch slurry into the simmering berry juice. Continue to stir until the pudding thickens, which should take about 2–3 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. Pour the pudding into serving bowls or glasses and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, or chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Step 10
Before serving, whip the heavy cream lightly to soft peaks. Serve the Rødgrød med Fløde topped with the whipped cream for a classic finish.
