I have not words to express how tasty, watermouthing and great dessert it is. Small apple pieces and cowberries give juiciness and moisture and wonderful sour and sweet flavour. Barley groats give a structure and make this dessert more interesting,
And again real Estonian flavour: barley groats, apples and cowberries. You just have to try this.

An international and famous dessert with a small Estonian twist and ingredients
Ingredients
- 400 g heavy (35%) cream
- 1 dl boiled barley groats
- 1 apple and cowberries
- 4 egg yolks
- sugar, salt, cinnamon
Directions
- Put barley to soak the night before. The following day put into cold water and let it boil, removing foam. Simmer at a low heat for about 20-30 minutes, until soft.
- Pour cream into a saucepan and stir over low heat until it almost comes to boil. Remove the cream from heat immediately. Add barley, berries and chopped and peeled apple. Let cool
- Beat egg yolks, sugar in a mixing bowl until thick and creamy.
- Stir cream and the egg yolk mixture; beat until combined. NB! Cream can not be very hot. Pour cream mixture into the top pan of a double boiler. Stir over simmering water until mixture lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Season with cinnamon and sugar. Remove mixture from heat immediately and pour into a shallow heat-proof dish.
- Bake in preheated oven at 150 C for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to broil. Sift sugar mixture evenly over custard. Place dish under broiler until sugar melts, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully so as not to burn. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Refrigerate until custard is set again.
