Easter with Finnish 🇫🇮cheeky treats is over… back to good coffee and sunshine in Naples 🇮🇹.
Mämmi – the infamous Finnish Easter pudding. Made from rye, water, molasses, and a bit of salt, it looks like something you’d find under a rock, which is probably why Finnair tried it on a flight and immediately pulled it off the menu 😂. Milk optional, sugar unnecessary (never me!).
Pasha – a creamy dessert from Russia, back when Finland was under Russian rule. Made from quark, butter, eggs, sugar, cream, and dried fruit, it must drain in a cloth for 24 hours before serving to get the right texture. Patience required—definitely not a grab-and-go dessert.
Pulla – delicate Finnish dough spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, our family’s absolute favorite. Milk must be the right temperature and we only use live yeast. Soft, airy, aromatic.
Mignon eggs – real eggshells filled with solid chocolate. Too rich for me personally, but a Finnish Easter essential. And yes… I might be a bit harder on my Finnish clients after Easter because of this 😂
I believe in enjoying cheeky treats in good company, on special occasions, but now… it’s back to coffee, sunshine, and resilience training in Naples ☀️☕
6am 🇬🇧 start tomorrow interactive via Zoom 💪🏻
