Preparation

Making the Blueberry Sauce

Combine ingredients

Combine blueberries, sugar, cardamom, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Cook mixture

Cook while stirring occasionally until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Cool sauce

Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Preparing the Skyr Mixture

Mix skyr and sweetener

In a medium bowl, mix skyr with honey and vanilla extract until smooth.

Chill mixture

Chill in the refrigerator while preparing other components.

Ensure the blueberry sauce is completely cooled before assembling to prevent the skyr from melting. For a vegan option, substitute skyr with thick coconut yogurt.

Cooking Process

Blueberry Sauce Thickening

Stir continuously to reach desired thickness and prevent burning.

Layering Process

Gently spoon layers to avoid mixing.

Chill Time

Allow parfaits to rest in the fridge for flavors to meld.
