Recipe: ischoklad – Swedish ice chocolate

No Swedish Christmas is complete without Ischoklad! Together with knäck (Swedish christmas toffee) it is the most typical Christmas candy in Sweden. The original recipe for ischoklad is in my mind a bit boring with just chocolate and coconut butter. In this recipe I used orange flavoured chocolate bars, a tsp of Cointreau and then a raisin or two in each. If you want there are a number of other ways to change the recipe depending on what you like, over at this Swedish site Landleys kök they have recipes for the following variations:

• Mörk ischoklad med glöggsmak – Dark ice chocolate with mulled wine
• Mörk ischoklad med saffran och apelsin – Dark ice chocolate with saffron and orange
• Mörk ischoklad med lakrits – Dark ice chocolate with licorice
• Ljus ischoklad med rom och kokos – Light ice chocolate with coconut and rum
• Ljus ischoklad med saltad nötkross – Light ice chocolate with salted crunched nuts
• Ljus ischoklad med pepparkakskryddor – Light ice chocolate with gingerbread spices
• Vit ischoklad med lime – White ice chocolate with lime
• Vit ischoklad med lakrits – White ice chocolate with licorice
• Vit ischoklad med saffran – White ice chocolate with saffron
