📝 Ingredients
- 400 ml semi-skimmed milk
- 40 g honey (30 g for the milk, 10 g for the skyr)
- 200 g frozen mixed berries
- 1 tbsp caster sugar (12 g)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 150 g plain skyr, 0 % fat
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 15 g flaked almonds
🍴 Utensils
- 20 × 25 cm baking dish
- Small saucepan
- Frying pan
- Whisk
- Fork
- Dessert bowls
📖 Steps
- Warm 100 ml of the milk in a small saucepan over a low heat for 1 min, then whisk in 30 g of honey until dissolved. Add the rest of the cold milk and mix well: the honey must be completely dissolved, otherwise it sinks to the bottom as it freezes.
- Pour the milk into the baking dish in a thin layer about 1 cm deep. Cover and place perfectly flat in the freezer for at least 4 hours, until the milk is completely frozen. The thinner the layer, the lighter the snow will be.
- Meanwhile, rinse the saucepan and add the still-frozen berries, the sugar and the lemon juice. Cook over a medium heat for 6 to 8 min, stirring, until the fruit has broken down and the juice is slightly syrupy.
- Leave the compote to cool, then put it in the fridge: it must be well chilled when served so it doesn't melt the milk snow. It thickens further as it cools.
- Mix the skyr with 10 g of honey and the vanilla extract until smooth. Toast the flaked almonds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 2 to 3 min, stirring constantly, then tip them onto a plate to stop them cooking.
- Put the two bowls in the freezer 10 min before serving. Then take out the dish of frozen milk and wait 3 to 5 min, just long enough for the surface to soften slightly so it can be scraped.
- Scrape the frozen milk vigorously with the tines of a fork, always in the same direction, until you have fine, light snow. Work quickly and return the dish to the freezer for a few minutes if the snow starts to melt.
- Pile the snow into a dome in the chilled bowls, spoon over the berry compote, top with a spoonful of vanilla skyr and scatter with the toasted almonds. Serve immediately, before the snow melts.
💡 FitBot tip: For even finer snow, freeze the milk in an ice cube tray and blitz the cubes for a few seconds in a blender. The compote keeps for 4 days in the fridge and is lovely on yoghurt.
