Ingredients

For the Skyr Mousse

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Preparing the Skyr Mousse

Combine Skyr, Honey, and Vanilla

In a mixing bowl, combine skyr, honey, and vanilla extract.

Whip the Cream

Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.

Fold and Chill

Gently fold the whipped cream into the skyr mixture. Chill until ready to serve.

Making the Blueberry Compote

Combine Ingredients

In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.

Cook the Compote

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Be sure not to overheat the compote to prevent the blueberries from losing their texture. Pro Tip: Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor.

Cool the Compote

Remove from heat and let cool.

Cooking Process

Infusing Flavors

Stir the skyr mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.

Thickening Compote

Cook just until the liquid begins to thicken, then cool.

Folding Technique

Use a gentle folding motion to incorporate the whipped cream into the skyr.
