List of Finnish desserts

This is a list of notable Finnish sweets and desserts. The cuisine of Finland refers to food preparation originating from Finland or having played a great historic part in Finnish cuisine. Finland also shares many dishes and influences with surrounding Scandinavian countries, such as Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, as well as Russia.^[1]

Finnish desserts are mainly influenced by berries and fruits that can be grown in colder climates, such as bilberries, lingonberries, cloudberries, and strawberries.^[2] Wholemeal flour such as rye and potato flour are also common. It is also influenced by Russian dishes and Eastern European culture, specifically Fennoscandian and Western Russian influences.^[3] Desserts tend to be rather plain and simple, yet hearty, and frequently served with cream, berries, and nuts.
