SWEDISH CREAM

This is a dish my sister makes for special occasions. It is not too sweet and it's very rich and creamy. If you like a sweeter dish, double the sugar. This makes for a lovely presentation that looks like you went to a lot of effort but didn't.

Time 2h

Yield Makes 72

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/4 pound ground pork
1/4 pound ground veal
1 cup finely ground fresh breadcrumbs
1 1/2 cups boiled, peeled, and mashed potatoes (from 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes; use a ricer for best results)
1/4 cup grated onion (from 1 small onion)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Pickled Beets
Quick-Pickled Cucumbers
Lingonberry sauce (optional; ikea-usa.com) or cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Meatballs: Stir together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix in ground meats, breadcrumbs, potatoes, and onion with your hands. Cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Form meatball mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Working in batches (do not crowd skillet), brown meatballs all over, about 30 seconds on each side. Transfer to another rimmed baking sheet, and bake 20 minutes.
  • Cream sauce: Meanwhile, add cream to drippings in skillet, and simmer until reduced by half, 25 to 27 minutes. Add soy sauce, and simmer until sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper. Transfer meatballs to a platter, and drizzle with cream sauce. Serve with beets, cucumbers, and lingonberry sauce.

Tips for Perfect Floating Swedish Cream:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your cream has the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill your cream and bowls before whipping. This will help the cream whip up faster and more easily.
  • Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will help it hold its shape when you add it to the berry sauce.
  • Use a light touch when folding the whipped cream into the berry sauce. Over-mixing will cause the cream to deflate.
  • Serve the cream immediately, or chill it for up to 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Floating Swedish Cream is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its light and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and stunning presentation, Floating Swedish Cream is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
