Vispipuuro

Vispipuuro (Finnish "whipped porridge") or klappgröt/klappkräm (Swedish name) is a sweet, wheat semolina (manna) dessert porridge made with berries, usually lingonberries. It is eaten in both Finland and Sweden. The semolina is cooked with the berries and also some kind of sweetener. Note that in Sweden, it's usually made by adding lingonberry cordial to the water, in which the semolina is cooked, as the texture is supposed to be smooth, so you don't want little bits of berries in the porridge. After the mixture has cooled down, the porridge is vigorously whipped to a light, mousse-like consistency. Alternatively, you can put the pot you made the porridge in, in the kitchen sink, partially filled with water and whisk it in there, so it cools down while being whisked with a hand mixer. The dessert is usually served with milk and optionally sugar. Other berries and fruit that can be used are redcurrants, cranberries, apricots, gooseberries and strawberries.[1]
