ReplyDeleteIn Estonia we call this "snow ball soup", it is one of my favourite childhood desserts.
ReplyDeleteI just made something similar this week - an Estonian dessert called snowball soup.You made me wish I still had some left, these pictures look delicious!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious and I'm impressed: even your yellow table matches. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Women's Day!
You are a legend, my grandmother (who is now 88) used to make this for me when I was a small child and she would call it swans on the lake, or ducks on the pond. I made it as soon as I saw the receipe and it tastes exactly the same. Love your recipe. Keep up the good work. Dibella
ReplyDeleteI just had them for breakfast! It's so nice to come visit my Mom after many years....
ReplyDeleteOH my god...a few days ago I was trying to remember this desert and what it was called. What an awesome surprise to find it today! I cant wait to try out the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
@Anita - This is one of my favorites :) Please let me know how you liked it.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Romanian version of this, called Lapte de Pasare which literally means Bird Milk!
ReplyDeleteIn Hungary we call this "birdmilk". My mother made on every easter, one of the best desert!
