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.
