Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 2 cups Lingonberries or cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Semolina flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Add the lingonberries (or cranberries) to the boiling water and reduce the heat to medium. Let the berries simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down and release their juices.
Strain the berry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing the berries with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the leftover pulp.
Return the strained juice to the heat and add the granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the semolina flour. Stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the mixture for about 5–7 minutes, or until it thickens to a smooth pudding-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 10–15 minutes. If desired, stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Once the mixture is cooled but still slightly warm, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the pudding on high speed for 5–7 minutes, or until it becomes pale and fluffy.
Spoon the whipped berry pudding into serving bowls or glasses and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Chilling enhances the texture and flavor.
Serve the Vatkattu Marjapuuro as is, or garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of sugar for added sweetness.
