Homemade Swedish Semla

Scale

Ingredients

Buns:

3 eggs

12 fresh dates

3/4 cup coconut cream

1/2 cup coconut oil

1 3/4 cup almond flour

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp freshly mortared cardamom seeds

1 pinch of sea salt

1 Tbsp psyllium husk powder

Almond paste:

1 cup almond flour

2 Tbsp coconut cream

3 Tbsp honey

2 bitter almonds, finely grated (or 2 drops almond extract)

1/8 tsp vanilla

1 pinch sea salt

Whipped Cream:

chilled coconut cream (use what’s left after the rest of the recipe)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Mix the eggs, dates, coconut milk and coconut oil to a smooth batter in a food processor. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.  Stir all of the bun ingredients together and leave rest for 15 min.

When the batter is just mixed, it is unthinkable that it will be possible to shape it into buns, but after it rests the batter is considerably more compliant. Wet your hands lightly and form 6 large or 12 small buns and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes and allow to cool.

Make the almond paste by pulsing all the ingredients in a food processor. Take it easy with the coconut cream and add more if needed – the almond paste shouldn’t be loose. Whip the coconut cream.

Cut the top off of each bun, scrape out some of the contents with a fork and mix the crumbs with the almond paste. Fill the buns with the almond paste filling and top with whipped cream. Place the cut off tops “lid” back on and dust with powdered sugar (see recipe below).

Notes

TIP!

We make our own “powder sugar” by mixing equal parts of coconut sugar with arrowroot powder in a blender.
