Buttermilk 'cold bowl' dessert - 1 of 3 easy desserts to make with my vanilla egg base

Here is another great dessert that is sure to please the crowds: Buttermilk "cold bowl" dessert. This is a traditional Danish summer time dessert. It get's it creaminess from the Buttermilk and it's sweetness from the vanilla egg base. It tastes great with "kammerjunker" or the best American alternative that I have found: Nilla wafers.

Here is how you make it.

Start out by making the egg base.

Buttermilk "cold bowl" dessert

1 egg base, chilled
1 quart of buttermilk
1 table spoon of fresh lemon (not pictured)

Mix, serve with Nilla wafers.

Yes, it's one of those really difficult ones







Still, I managed to get three whole step by step shots of it.

Next, I was trying out a gluten free alternative to the Nilla wafers.

I tried these gluten free Vanilla Honey Graham crackers. I love the texture and the bite of these cookies, but the taste was wrong. Not super wrong, but wrong enough for this dish.



I also searched Trader Joe's for a substitute to the corporation wafers, but no luck there. The search continues...

Until then, I recommend using Nilla wafers for this dessert

On a hot summer day we love to eat corn on the cob with butter and salt, followed by this dessert. It's a summer classic at our house.
