Skyr brulée
Ages ago I promised to find a recipe for skyr brulée – well I finally found one!
The recipe comes from a chef: Steinar Þór Þorfinnsson of the restaurant Einar Ben.
I haven’t tested it, but here goes:
Skyr- and white chocolate crème brulée with blueberry schnapps
Skyr-crème brulée:
100 g cream
100 g pure skyr
40 g egg yolk
40 g sugar
80 g white chocolate
The juice of 1/2 lime
1 vanilla pod
Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and put in a saucepan with the cream. Bring to the boil, remove from the heat and add the skyr.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and add to the warm skyr mixture.
Stir together the egg yolk and sugar and add to the skyr mixture along with the lime juice. Put into crème brulée ramekins and bake in a water bath at 120 °C for 30 minutes. Cool.
Sprinkle with demerara sugar and melt the sugar with a crème brulée torch.
P.S.
Before making this, please take a look at the review in the comment.

Comments
I am going to try the recipe for my book club, we will be discussing "Burial Rites" by Hannah Kent.
I think the original recipe was probably based on really thick* skyr that didn't have any milk added, whereas most types available in supermarkets already have at least some milk added. I'm not sure but maybe the all skyr available abroad has added milk?
*When I was little, you could buy skyr that so thick that it was sold wrapped in wax paper, rather than in tubs.
