Rupjmaizes kārtojums is a traditional and fairly simple Latvian dessert consisting of dark rye bread, whipped cream or cream cheese, and cranberry jam. Most traditional recipes suggest cranberry jam because of its sourness, but other fruit jams can be used instead.
The dark rye bread is finely grated, flavored with cinnamon and sugar, and pan toasted. The ingredients are then layered in a glass trifle dish or a parfait glass and garnished with whipped cream or fresh fruit. Before it’s served, the dessert should sit in a fridge for a few hours so that the flavors soak into each other.
