Due to Nordic settlements in Iceland during the 9th century, Scandinavia has a heavy influence in Icelandic cuisine.^[1] The earliest published Icelandic cookbooks were collections of Danish recipes brought by Danish bakers and traders—many of which still hold up in Icelandic dining today.

The climate of Iceland is harsh and frigid, therefore the culture relies heavily on animal products rather than large-scale crop farming. This is reflected in their desserts, as most dishes, such as skyr and súkkulaði, feature a dairy component. This is also reflected in the fruits used in dessert preparation, as only fruits that can grow in such a climate can be featured, such as crowberries, blueberries, and rhubarb. While cereals and grains are used in dishes, they are mainly created using imported grains, and therefore have become more popular as trade in Iceland has improved.^[2]
