Rodgrod Med Flod, or Red Berry Pudding with Cream, is a traditional Danish dessert that has its roots in the Middle Ages. It is a light and fruity dessert made with mixed soft fruit such as red-currants, raspberries, blackberries, and cherries, thickened with potato flour and sweetened with sugar, and served with whipped cream and slivered almonds on top.
