ICELANDIC SKYR

After a trip to Iceland in 2003, my husband learned to love the taste of skyr, and after we got home from vacation I came up with a close approximation of it. If you've never had it, it's similar to yogurt, maybe a little thicker, and can be flavored to your liking (my husband likes to mix in a little cherry pie filling, but I prefer to add fresh sliced peaches and a light sprinkling of Splenda). This recipe is for the base only, feel free to alter as needed. The authentic skyr is hard to duplicate in a home setting as I understand it, due to the need for specialized bacteria. I think the "real deal" can be found online in places that sell cheesemaking supplies. But, I'm cheap, and this is close and the ingredients are in easy supply. Enjoy

Steps:

  • Pour the powdered milk into a large clean bowl.
  • Allow the boiled water to cool until just warm. It must not be too hot or it will kill the living culture in the buttermilk!
  • Pour the water over the milk powder, allowing room for the buttermilk. Stir thoroughly so that it is completely dissolved.
  • Add the buttermilk, stir well and cover. Place in the oven, undisturbed.
  • Do not turn on the oven, simply turn on the oven light. This will be enough heat to allow the culture to work. Allow this to work overnight.
  • In the morning check your skyr for firmness and flavor. If it is not set and separated or sour enough, leave it to work longer. Every oven is different.
  • Once you are happy with the degree of sourness, the skyr has to be drained. Gently cut the curd into squares of sections. Do not break it up too much.
  • Line a colander with cheesecloth or a clean new J-cloth (I personally just use a bit of leftover muslin from my sewing stash).
  • Set this in the sink or a larger container to catch the whey. Scoop the curds and whey gently into the lined colander. It will drain better if it is not stirred or broken up too much. It will take about one day to drain to the proper consistency.
  • Then it can be beaten with a mixer until smooth. Store covered in the refrigerator. Stir in sugar and cream, or your favorite flavorings, as desired when ready to serve.

  • Garlicky Yogurt Pasta With Sautéed Lentils and Chickpeas from Foxes Love Lemons. Yogurt and pasta may seem like a bizarre combo, but skyr can act as a versatile cream sauce.
  • Yogurt Chicken Salad from Well Plated. Skyr definitely has mayo beat on nutrition, and the similar textures make yogurt an easy, barely noticeable switch in chicken salad.
  • Yogurt Pancakes from I Am a Food Blog. That post-pancake lethargy is all too real (brunchers, you know what I mean), but adding in skyr's protein and cutting back on the sugar will help curb the crash.
  • Oatmeal Cookie Overnight Oats from SELFstarter. When it comes to healthy, simple, make-ahead breakfasts, overnight oats are pretty much the ultimate. Use skyr instead of Greek yogurt for an even richer consistency and a little extra protein.
  • Turmeric Yogurt Chicken from The Lean Green Bean. A yogurt marinade is one of my absolute favorite ways to prepare chicken, whether it's regular, Greek, or skyr yogurt.
  • Healthy Raspberry Muffins from Cookie and Kate. These pretty muffins could be made with any fresh or frozen fruit you've got—and, speaking of, you can freeze extra muffins to thaw next time you want a grab-and-go breakfast with protein.
  • Pan Roasted Salmon With Radish Raita from BS In The Kitchen. A creamy and cool radish raita adds an extra punch of protein to salmon when it's made with skyr.
  • Healthier Mac and Cheese from Texanerin. I can vouch for Greek yogurt mac and cheese here, and trust me, it's pretty life-changing: It's tangy, gooey, and it skips out on the cream and butter that typically take the dish overboard on not-so-healthy fat.
  • Tzatziki Sauce from Two Peas and Their Pod. Sub in skyr in this tangy tzatziki sauce to officially make Greek-Icelandic fusion a thing. Pairs well with pita, chicken souvlaki, and...
  • Protein-Packed Banana Bread from Nutritionist in the Kitch. This banana bread recipe uses yogurt and protein powder to make sure it's way more satiating than your average loaf (and just as tasty).
