Ikkendulle

Ikkendulle is a traditional Danish dish, often described as a type of fruit and semolina pudding. It is typically prepared by simmering semolina with milk, sugar, and often a flavoring agent like vanilla or lemon zest. The mixture is cooked until it thickens into a porridge-like consistency.

A key characteristic of Ikkendulle is the incorporation of fruit, which is usually added towards the end of the cooking process or served alongside. Apples are a common choice, often cooked down or sliced thinly. Other fruits such as berries or plums can also be used depending on seasonality and preference. The dish can be served warm or cold.

Historically, Ikkendulle has been a comforting and simple dessert or breakfast item in Danish households. Its preparation is relatively straightforward, making it accessible for home cooks. The texture is generally smooth and creamy, with the fruit providing a contrasting softness or slight bite. It is a staple in many Danish cookbooks and a nostalgic food for many.
