Dammsugare

Indulge in the sweet, nutty delight of Dammsugare, a classic Swedish treat made with crushed biscuits, marzipan, and rich dark chocolate. Perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or a festive gathering with friends.

• 200 g digestive biscuits
• 100 g marzipan
• 100 g butter
• 50 g powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 100 g dark chocolate
• 10 g chocolate sprinkles

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, softened butter, grated marzipan, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Shape the mixture into small cylindrical logs, about 5 cm long and 2 cm in diameter.

3. 3

   Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up.

4. 4

   While the logs are chilling, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave.

5. 5

   Once the logs are firm, dip each one into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.

6. 6

   Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles over the chocolate-coated logs while they are still wet.

7. 7

   Return the coated logs to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 5 more minutes.

8. 8

   Serve the Dammsugare chilled as a delightful treat with coffee or tea.
