Puoloffee

Banoffee pie (banana and toffee pie) has conquered the world over the past decade. It's time to respond and replace the banana with our national treasure, the lingonberry. This pie disappears in the blink of an eye from both children's and adults' dessert tables, so that should tell you how well the flavor profile of "Puoloffee" hits the spot for Finns.
