Punschrulle -- Not for dieters!

A Punschrulle is best with coffee. I've heard they weigh in at 230 calories and 12 grams of fat. Like most Swedish foods, there are little to no preservatives. Of course, the shelf-life is shorter but they do taste purer. The common name for this dessert (probably what you'd order in a coffee shop) is dammsugare which is a compound word meaning "dust sucker," otherwise know as a vacuum cleaner. They have a resemblance to a vacuum cleaner that used to be sold in Sweden.
