Licorice has always been a popular sweet in Iceland but in recent years, licorice and Turkish pepper (a Danish licorice candy flavoured with ammonium chloride) made its way into all kinds of foods. This includes candy, ice-cream, cakes, salt, almonds, nuts, raisins and even skyr. 

The latest addition is a new licorice flavoured cheesecake from dairy company MS. The mbl.is, food web recommends eating it with a licorice flavoured sauce. Try if you dare.
