Qty	Ingredient
2 cups 250 g	Fresh or frozen lingonberries
3/4 cup 150 g	Granulated sugar
2 large 60 g	Egg whites
1 tsp 5 ml	Vanilla sugar or vanilla extract

2 Method

Step 1. Ensure your mixing bowl and whisk attachment are completely clean and free of any grease.

Step 2. Add the lingonberries, granulated sugar, egg whites, and vanilla sugar into the bowl.

Step 3. Using an electric stand mixer or hand mixer, begin whipping the mixture on low speed to break up the berries slightly.

Step 4. Increase the speed to high and whip for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. The mixture will expand significantly and transform into a thick, stiff, pale pink foam.

Step 5. Continue whipping until the sugar has mostly dissolved and the mousse holds firm peaks.

Step 6. Spoon the Trollkrem into glass serving bowls and serve immediately while it is at its fluffiest.

·
Use a high-powered stand mixer for the best volume; hand mixing will take significantly longer.
·
If using frozen berries, there is no need to thaw them first; they will break down as you whip.
·
For a less tart version, you can slightly increase the sugar, but the acidity is a hallmark of the dish.
·
Serve with traditional Norwegian thin waffles (vafler) or krumkake for a complete experience.

? FAQ

Can I use lingonberry jam instead of fresh berries?

Yes, but you should omit the added sugar entirely as the jam is already sweetened. The texture may be slightly denser.

What can I substitute for lingonberries?

Fresh cranberries are the closest substitute, though they are more tart. Pulse them in a food processor briefly before whipping with the egg whites.

Is it safe to use raw egg whites?

In many countries, fresh eggs are safe to consume raw, but you can use pasteurized egg whites from a carton if you have health concerns.

Can I make Trollkrem in advance?

It is best served immediately. If left to sit, the foam will eventually deflate and liquid will settle at the bottom.
