Preparing the Skyr Mousse

1
Combine Skyr, Honey, and Vanilla
In a mixing bowl, combine skyr, honey, and vanilla extract.
2
Whip the Cream
Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
3
Fold and Chill

Making the Blueberry Compote

1
Combine Ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
2
Cook the Compote
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Tip: 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.
