Recipe details
These 3 popular desserts from 3 countries serve 4 people. Note - Click on recipe mixes for ingredients and nutritional facts.
Croatia - Gingerbread
From gingerbread houses to The Gingerbread Man, nothing quite symbolizes the holidays like gingerbread. One of the popular decorations for Christmas in Croatia is Licitar heart, a hand-decorated gingerbread cookie that was recognized by UNESCO in 2010 as the "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage" for Croatian culture. Medenjaci (also made with honey, ginger and spices) is a local, melt-in-your-mouth cookie often served at Christmas.
Austria - Linzer Cookies
Austrian Linzer cookies (Helle Linzer Plaetzchen in Germany) are named after Linzer torte, a pastry originated in the Austrian city of Linz. Linzer torte is one of the oldest known cakes believed to have been discovered in an Austrian abbey in the 1600s. It was later introduced to the US in the mid-1800s by an Austrian immigrant, Franz Holzlhuber, who was a baker.
Sweden - Chokladbollar
It is said that these Swedish chocolate oatmeal balls, known as chokladbollar, are the first thing a Swedish child learns to make! They're easy to prepare with no baking required! Mixing the "dough" into a ball and rolling it in Coco Flakes makes it a fun activity. It is a typical fika treat – that is, a perfect treat to share with a cup of coffee! Note – “fika” refers to the Swedish concept of coffee breaks!
