90 minutes

Swedish chocolate dessert Daim is a true delight for sweet lovers. Its history begins in Sweden, where it became popular due to the unique combination of crunchy almonds, caramel, and creamy milk chocolate. The taste of Daim is a harmony of rich caramel sweetness, light nutty notes, and creamy chocolate texture. This dessert is perfect for cozy family tea times, holidays, and simply to treat yourself to something special. The simplicity of preparation makes it accessible even for those with little culinary experience. As it cools down, it acquires its signature crunchy structure, while the layer of melted chocolate adds special richness. Daim can be served with coffee or used as a base for other desserts like ice cream or pastries.
