🇫🇮 Finland: Licorice Ice Cream

A Finnish take on a universal favorite!

“Licorice ice cream is one of my absolute favorite desserts. I often request it for receptions and dinners, as it’s one of those unique and quirky things that leaves an impression and stays in peoples’ minds. I prefer Finnish Kouvola licorice bites for extra tastiness, but any licorice powder should do the trick.”

-Mikko Hautala, Ambassador of Finland
