, here's a brief explanation: It's an Icelandic dairy product, the consistency of which is reminiscent of a mixture of quark and yoghurt and can also be used in a similar way.
That means you can, for example, spoon fruit with skyr for breakfast or bake a moist cake with it.
And even homemade rolls are extra fluffy thanks to the ingredient skyr.

skyr cake
with berries.
Best of all, this cake doesn't need to be baked, just put in the fridge.
That's why it's also the perfect summer cake, which cools you down and tastes wonderfully fresh.

No-Bake Skyr Cake: Here's how
For the base
, first place the biscuits in a freezer bag and crumble them using a rolling pin.
Alternatively, you can of course simply chop the biscuits in the food processor.
Melt the butter and mix it with the crumbled biscuits.
Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper and press the biscuit-butter mixture into the bottom.
Chill the biscuit base in the refrigerator for an hour.
For the filling
, whip the cream with a hand mixer while adding the whipped cream.
Using a whisk, mix the skyr with gelatin fix for one minute.
Gently fold in the whipped cream, then add the sugar and vanilla sugar and stir to combine.
Now simply put the filling on the biscuit base and put the skyr cake in the fridge for two hours.
To serve
, remove the springform tin and lift the fridge cake onto a cake plate.
Then you can decorate as you like with berries of your choice.
