Blokkahelad

Blokkahelad, also known as block ice cream, is a traditional Icelandic dessert made from a mixture of cream, milk, and sugar, which is then frozen in a mold. The name "blokkahelad" translates to "block ice cream" in English. The dessert is typically served in large rectangular blocks, which can be cut into smaller pieces or eaten whole.

The preparation of blokkahelad involves mixing heavy cream, milk, and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. The mixture is then chilled and poured into a mold, which is usually made of metal or plastic. The mold is then placed in the freezer, where the mixture solidifies into a firm, creamy ice cream. Once frozen, the blokkahelad is removed from the mold and can be stored in the freezer until ready to serve.

Blokkahelad is often served with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chocolate sauce. It is a popular dessert in Iceland and is often enjoyed as a treat after a meal or as a dessert for special occasions. The dessert's creamy texture and rich flavor make it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
