Red currants are small, tart berries that are high in vitamin C and antioxidants. They are commonly used in jams and preserves, but they also make a tasty dessert when served with eggedosis. Eggedosis is a traditional Norwegian dessert made of beaten eggs, sugar, and vanilla. It is similar to a light and creamy meringue, but without any added fat. When combined with the tangy sweetness of red currants, this dessert is a delicious and healthy treat that's perfect for summer. It can be enjoyed as a sweet breakfast or a light dessert after dinner.

Instructions

1.	Place the red currants in a saucepan and sprinkle with sugar. Cook over low-medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the fruit is just softened. Let it cool.
2.	In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with salt and sugar until light and creamy, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
3.	In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
4.	Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, and add the vanilla.
5.	Serve the red currants in bowls with the eggedosis on top.

PROS

CONS
