Änglamat, which translates to "angel food," is a delightful Swedish dessert that combines the lightness of whipped cream with the sweetness of berries and the crunch of meringues.

This dessert has a long-standing tradition in Sweden, often enjoyed during summer when berries are in season, making it a refreshing treat for warm days.

To make Änglamat, start by whipping cream with a touch of vanilla sugar until it forms soft peaks. Then, gently crush meringues into bite-sized pieces and prepare fresh berries by cleaning and slicing them if necessary.

For a bit of customization, you can add a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or a few mint leaves to enhance the flavors and add a touch of elegance to the presentation.

In Sweden, Änglamat is typically served in individual glasses, layered with whipped cream, meringue pieces, and berries, creating a beautiful and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

While Änglamat is a relatively light dessert, it's important to enjoy it in moderation, especially if you're mindful of your sugar intake, as the meringues and berries can add up in sweetness.
