Skyreftirréttur med kírsuberjasósu

Skyr dessert with cherry jelly

I got to know and love this dessert, in this form and in a similar form, during my Icelandic vacation in the Westfjords in autumn 2015 and also came across it again in a cookbook with recipes from Northern Iceland.


Ingredients for 4 persons

120 g oatmeal cookies
70 g margarine
2 Tbsp cinnamon
450 g Skyr
2 tsp ground vanilla
4 Tbsp sugar
2 eggs
300 g cherry jelly


Preparation

Place the oatmeal cookies in a small, sturdy plastic bag (e.g. breakfast bag or similar) and crush thoroughly with a rolling pin.

Melt the margarine and mix with the crumbled cookies and cinnamon.

Then spread the mixture with tablespoons onto the bottom of the dessert glasses.

Then mix the skyr with the ground vanilla, sugar and eggs...

...and also put it in the dessert glasses.

Finally, add the cherry jelly to the skyr mixture and let it sit well in the fridge for at least 6 - 8 hours - then serve as dessert.
