About Dronning Maud pudding
Kristine Ilstad’s Dronning Maud pudding follows her mother-in-law’s West Norwegian family recipe. It is a light egg-and-cream mousse layered with finely grated cooking chocolate, rather than a baked pudding.
Sugar sweetens the whipped eggs, with cream adding dairy richness and chocolate providing the contrasting flavour. Gelatin sets the airy mixture; this selected recipe uses whole eggs.
The mousse and grated chocolate form repeated layers in a large dessert bowl, finished with more chocolate. Ilstad keeps the dessert refrigerated until serving, allowing the layered mousse to set before it reaches the table.
