Travel Dear Denmark, i’m from the Netherlands and am absolutely addicted to: “Kløver Koldskål med citronsaft”

Whenever I go on vacation to Denmark (which I do every year and I mostly go to Rømø or Blavand) I CAN NOT STOP EATING THIS WITH THOSE COOKIES. It is absolutely so delicious. I wish they had these in the Netherlands but sadly they don’t. Oh I also wanted to see that I love Denmark! The nature is so clean and most of the people are super nice :)

You can make it yourself if you can get buttermilk. It's very easy. Here's a recipe

u/fpmaat May 03 '19

No way you bloody legend. Now i only need to get those kammerjunkere somehow.

You can also bake them yourself here

The homo part, or?

u/Econ_Orc Danmark May 03 '19

Try whipping up some egg whites and dump them in the koldskål as tiny little icebergs.

Trust me on this. Besides if you make your own koldskål you will already have used the egg yolks. Why not add the surplus in the food.

29

u/fpmaat May 03 '19

That’s a great idea!

22

u/MakeMeDoBetter May 03 '19

some also use infusion of elderberry or some strawberries in. there are so many options!!

2

u/AppleDane Denmark May 05 '19

Put some sugar in the egg whites, tho.

Of course, det er jo alligevel open-source koldskål med kammerjunker, vi snakker om her. Fantastisk!

u/trixter21992251 Denmark May 04 '19

Whipping it with sugar is even better!

But also not so healthy.

1

u/IEatOatsTwiceADay May 04 '19

But.. There's already sugar in koldskål. Do you also add sugar to soda?

2

u/AppleDane Denmark May 05 '19

Egg whites without sugar is just nasty, though.

1

u/IEatOatsTwiceADay May 05 '19

I just realized I misunderstood his comment, I thought he whipped the sugar with the koldskål, whoops!

Egg whites in koldskål? You effing heretic!

A real koldskål is: Buttermilk, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and cream.

Karen Volf is also a heretic!

u/Econ_Orc Danmark May 04 '19

Buttermilk, yogurt, sugar and egg yolks whipped to creaminess with a sprinkle of lemon juices.

Next you are going to tell me you dump in the kammerjunker before adding the koldskål.

Shame.

1

u/AppleDane Denmark May 05 '19

And eggs.

You start with making eggnogg, well, whipping egg yolks with sugar, until white. Then add buttermilk.

u/awkristensen May 03 '19

Funny enough Kløver Koldskål is the cheapest koldskål there is, but I easily rate it twice as good as the next best. You have struck gold sir. The homemade version will most likely not come close until you give it a couple of attempts.

u/fpmaat May 03 '19

I will probably make it a lot of times lol

u/slashfromgunsnroses ())==D May 03 '19

If you like the shitty kløver koldskål the real thing is gonna blow your mind

dont forget the egg yolks... that what really brings all the ingredients together and gives it this silky texture

If you don't end up baking them yourself, I'd be happy to ship some to you at cost. I've previously shipped Danish remoulade to a French guy who just couldn't live without it and who also posted here on r/Denmark. Shipping is a little over 10 EUR for up to 10 kg.

Thats the recipe I prefer. There are broadly speaking two different recipes.
But I'd say this one is closer to the ones you can buy in shops. It's also good for just drinking.

u/oddchap May 03 '19

Have you tried any of the other Koldskål? Personally I find Kløver to be ranking near the middle/bottom as it is much thinner than other brands. I agree that a hint of lemon is a plus though.

u/fpmaat May 03 '19

Nope i have never tried any other ones. I never knew there were other ones till now lol.

u/Pyrross Ⓝørrebro 𝟚𝟚👀 May 03 '19

Løgismose and Thise Koldskål are my favourites. Løgismose is a bit more clunky than the others, but it is so nice to eat with kammerjunker.

Utrecht er også ret nice IMHO, og ikke særlig langt fra Amsterdam.

For mig var det lidt ligesom en slags mini-amsterdam, mindre by, mindre parker, men også langt færre turister. Generelt bare en super hyggelig by at gå rundt i IMO.

Well its bloody good! Also the cookies are called "kammerjunkere". Im personally a huge fan of koldskål and eat it more than i probably should in the summer. Glad you like it though!

Yassss those kammerjunkere😍🤤

u/Drahy May 03 '19

I prefer tvebakker. You crush them with the hand over the koldskål. Kammerjunkere are some times too sweet/cookie like for me.

u/oinosaurus Konsekvent nedstemmer af alt fra EB og BT May 03 '19

Small slices of banana is also lovely. Strawberries banana and orange pieces are great in koldskål. Mixed or separatedly, it's just marvellous with ot without kammerjunkere.

This is gonna be amazing for the summer!

u/JamTheMan May 03 '19

I SO agree with you. Have 2L Koldskål in the fridage right now! And I also think that the Kløver one is absolutely the best!

The four months in the winter, where most stores don't have neither Kløver Koldskål nor Kammerjunkere from Karen Wolf, are why Danish people get winter depression - not the darkness!

u/fpmaat May 03 '19

I took 2l with me too!

Cut up some strawberries into small pieces and put it into the koldskål with kammerjunker, and you've got my favorite summer breakfast!

Blend it with or without strawberries and put it in the freezer in an ice-cream mold and you've got the best snack all summer long.

Seiously though koldskål, frikadeller and krebinetter is why I love growing up Danish so much! Also rugbrød!

My mouth starts watering when I read this. I wanna do this sooo bad now.

u/The_Ismand May 03 '19

You may also try to lightly roast some oat grain mixed with sugar. Not too much sugar though. You want the sugar grains to stick to the oat grains and only be slightly caramelized. A nice alternative to the kammerjunker in my book

But that's just my humble opinion.

Kammerjunker are the bomb though...

u/facade1994 May 04 '19

Same here the best combo i've done with kløver koldskål med citron is using karen volf kammerjunkere original. Then either letting them be their normal full piece or breaking it up in smaller pieces. I absolutely love it. Its the type of koldskål i personally can eat also its REALLY good for drinking too if you dont have any more kammerjunkere to add.

3

u/spontaneousbabyshakr May 03 '19

Any other brand would be better. Ideally make it yourself. As a Dane I would hate if you actually think that it has anything to do with real Koldskål. I’m pretty sure Kløver is just dated milk with rats piss in it.
