This is a modern twist on traditional Norwegian Multskrem (Cloudberry Cream) where lavender and vanilla are used as additional flavourings. This recipe calls for cloudberry jam. You can buy this commercially: most IKEA stores sell the Swedish version and you can get the Finnish version on-line. If you have a source of cloudberries, then this site has recipes for Finnish Cloudberry Jelly; Cloudberry Conserve; Cloudberry Jam; Bakeapple Jam and Simple Cloudberry Jam any of which is suitable for this recipe.

Ingredients:

700ml whipping cream
1 vanilla pod, split in half lengthways
60g caster sugar
160g cloudberry jam
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh lavender leaves

Method:

Pour the whipping cream into a large bowl then scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod and beat into the cream along with the sugar. Beat the cream until stiff then gently fold in the cloudberry jam and the chopped lavender.

Spoon into wine glasses or a dessert dish and serve immediately as a dessert.
