Ingredients
Dough:
1 1/2 cups of almond flour
1 cup of powdered sugar
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Extra powdered sugar for dusting
Icing:
2 cups of powdered sugar
2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice
Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven and prepare the dough
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
2. Shape the dough into rings
Take a small piece of dough and roll it into a long, thin rope. Wrap the rope around a greased cone-shaped mold, starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top. Repeat with the remaining dough, making sure each ring slightly overlaps the previous one. Place the rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake the rings
Bake the rings for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the molds. Allow them to cool completely before stacking.
4. Prepare the icing
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Slowly add in the powdered sugar, followed by the lemon juice. If desired, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the icing for a festive touch.
5. Assemble the kransekake
Using a spoon or piping bag, spread a thin layer of icing onto the bottom of the largest ring. Carefully stack the rings on top of each other, using the icing to adhere them together. Once all the rings are stacked, you can decorate the kransekake with extra icing and powdered sugar as desired.
This Christmas kransekake recipe is sure to be a hit at your holiday gatherings. The combination of almond and vanilla flavors, along with the beautiful stacked rings, will impress your guests and add a touch of Norwegian tradition to your celebrations. Enjoy!
