The day before: Warm the lingonberries and mix with the orange peel. Cover and chill.
The next day, whip the cream until stiff, stir in the vanilla sugar. Carefully mix half of the cream with the cranberries, the other half with the apple compote. Layer the apple and cranberry cream alternately in small glass dessert bowls.
Decorate the dessert with hazelnut flakes and chocolate shavings as desired. Serve with the shortcrust pastry cookies.
