Several years ago we hosted an exchange student from Norway for the year. Maren is a delight and she shared some family recipes with us. At Christmas, we had a party with many of the traditional foods she would eat at home in Norway. My favorite dessert from the evening was karamellpudding, or caramel pudding. Custard is a weakness of mine that I happily embrace! Maren’s family serves this dessert on Christmas evening. It’s a flan-like pudding with a smooth, silky texture and lightly sweet flavor. Vanilla shines here! It needs to be prepared the day before to have time to chill overnight. Serve it with whipped cream and some fresh berries.
