Recipe: Guf – Danish ice cream topping
In Denmark, we have this meringue-like ice cream topping called guf. It is really easy to make, and it tastes divine, so of course you have to try making it this ice cream season!
The guf you get at the ice cream shops in Denmark is often very pink and tastes like strawberry. You can get the same flavor by adding a spoonful of strawberry jam, but if you want a bright pink color, you will need a few drops of food coloring.
Notes
I’ve been making guf so many times, I thought I could do it on autopilot, but for the first batch I made, I forgot to add water to the sugar-mix and ended up with a dalgona-like fluff that tasted like caramelized almonds. Not bad at all. It is actually a really nice topping for more grown-up ice cream flavors such as coffee ice cream:)
