Skyrterta í hátíðarbúningi

Skyr dessert in holiday garb

"Skyrterta" actually means "skyr cake", but this "cake" is unbaked and is served in a large, shallow dish or something similar. It only takes a few minutes to prepare the recipe, but if possible it should be kept in the fridge for a few hours, then it tastes best.

I first got to know this type of "skyrterta" in the Icelandic Westfjords in 2015, but it is also common in other parts of Iceland.

Thanks to the decoration in the Icelandic national colors, this "skyrterta" also makes a special visual impression - just "skyrterta in holiday dress"!

Ingredients

200 g oatmeal cookies

50 g melted butter

400 ml whipped cream

1 tsp ground vanilla

1 tsp grated lemon peel

450 ml vanilla skyr

300 g fresh blueberries

6 - 8 fresh strawberries

Preparation

Crush the cookies in the blender. Place the biscuit crumbs in a suitable mold, mix with the melted butter and press into the bottom of the mold.

In a bowl, beat the cream with the vanilla, powdered sugar and grated lemon peel until stiff. Add the vanilla skyr and stir in gently.

Pour almost 200 g of the cream into a piping nozzle and set aside. Spread the rest evenly on the biscuit base.

Wash, clean and cut the strawberries into small pieces and wash the blueberries.

Distribute the strawberry pieces crosswise over the filling, use the piping bag to pipe small drops to the right and left of the strawberries and complete the flag with the blueberries.

Let the dessert set in the fridge for a few hours and then serve well chilled.
