Strawberry porridge is a simple Danish berry porridge made from cooked strawberries thickened with cornstarch. Served cold with milk or cream. Can be made with fresh or frozen berries.

Ingredients

  • 750 g strawberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1½ dl water or rhubarb juice
  • 4-6 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch

Directions

Cook the porridge

Rinse and hull the berries. Cook them tender in the water for 2-3 minutes. Adjust sweetness with sugar.

Stir the cornstarch into 2 tbsp cold water. Pour the slurry into the porridge while stirring. Cook for 1 minute.

Serving

Let the porridge cool and serve cold with milk or cream.

Notes

  • Rhubarb juice instead of water gives a more complex flavor.
  • Frozen strawberries work just as well as fresh.
  • Sprinkle a little sugar over the porridge while it is still warm to prevent a skin from forming.
  • Can be used as a filling in apple meringue or as a topping for pancakes.
