I need help trying to remember a certain dessert that was known for being the most dense, rich, calorie-packed sweet in the world…
Hi!
So about 20 years ago, my brother and I both remember reading something about a dessert that use ridiculous amount, amounts of butter and sugar and cream, like 10 pounds of each, and that was reduced over time into a very small output that caused to be extremely caloric and dense and rich
We could be making up those amounts in our head, but we remember something about it being the most dense sweet in the world. We think it starts with the letter M and it came from Sweden or some other European country.
Does this ring a bell to anyone, by chance?
Thanks so much!!

Is the image relevant? Like, is it the picture of the sweet you’re looking for? The thing I can come up closest to is mysost by description, but the image looks like fudge.
I think those are the ingredients for toffee.
Ganache?
That would be so wonderful to devour
Brigadeiro?
Toffee is a fudge-like substance obtained by boiling condensed milk with sugar, molasses, and fat (butter, vegetable oil, or margarine).
They can be soft, chewy, stringy, dense or crumbly, light or dark; there are quite a few varieties. And yes, it’s incredibly sweet and a calorie bomb.
Was it a kouign Amman?

Oh man, I feel like I watched a show that talked about an old-timey British dessert that’s very similar to what you’re describing. It was basically an invention of necessity, but it’s super dense and caloric and MAYBE is in a pie crust?. I cannot for the LIFE of me remember what it was called. Treacle tart is the name that keeps popping into my head, but its description doesn’t sound at all like what I’m thinking of.
Check smørkola
Molasses candy?
are you maybe thinking of that brown brick cheese from norway? the caramelized cheese
edit: it’s called mesost and it’s sometimes made into sweets/fudge
If it starts with the letter M then possibly marzipan.
Fudge maybe? Praline?
Fudge?
