I grew up in Pal Delcue, Churros, and Cake of Tres Leches, all Mexican desserts so I have a big sweet tooth, and out of all the desserts the Mustikkapiirakka is something I want to try when I vist Finland, what other desserts would you also highly recommend?

Definitely korvapuusti
Korvapuusti for sure
Leipäjuusto with lakkahillo (bread cheese with cloudberry jam)
Mämmi is the shit!
Yup the variations on pulla are really good. If you’re interested in more blueberries mustikkakukko could be good. There are other simple pies made from berries but also rhubarb and sourer apples. Mämmi is a fun thing to try and vispipuuro with milk is good. There are some seasonal things like the Brunebergs pastry and Joulutortut. I think the donuts we have might be made of different dough too. There are so many different cookies too depending on what you are looking for; cinnamon S are something that I used to make with my mom and Pumpernickels are good. If you can find the darker chrismas cookies, those are the best though I do have a bias 🙂
Finnish donuts. I mean the deep fried ones with texture, not some crumbling BS. Try Arnold’s Café to start.
sounds like you would be for “rahkapulla” and “vispipuuro” might be something new different
You should most definetly try Munkki or a munkkipossu.
It’s like a churro filled with applesauce or berryjam.
Get it from a market or a good bakery.
Lingonberry pie, basically the exact thing in the pic but with lingonberries, eaten with vanilla sauce. It’s my personal favorite.
[Runebergintorttu](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runeberg_torte).
My personal favourite of Finnish desserts. Not too sweet. Traditionally it’s eaten only around the day commemorating our national poet, Runeberg, but some cafes/bakeries sell it all year round.
Rhubarb pie and strawberry cake with cream, it’s to die for.
