Russian candy or Russian chocolate (Finnish: kinuski; Russian: karofka) is a very sweet toffee-like dessert made by carefully heating equal amounts of cream and sugar. It is a traditional food in Nordic countries. Karl Fazer brought the first Russian candy recipe to Finland from St. Petersburg. It's a popular treat in Russia and Europe.
[edit] Making
Measure an equal amount (for example 2 dl) of cream and sugar in a small microwave safe bowl. Watch carefully while heating with full power. After a minute, mix it with a spoon and put it back in the microwave. If it starts to come over the bowl edges, take it out to cool down for a while. After a few minutes it turns to smooth but thick caramel that sticks to the spoon. Let it cool down in the freezer on small plates.
[edit] Other uses
- ice cream
- cakes
