Provided by International Desserts Blog

Time 13h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 gallon milk , (skim or 1%)
2 Tbsp Icelandic yogurt , (I used Siggi's plain or vanilla)
1/8 cup warm water
2-5 drops liquid rennet, (or 1/4 of a rennet tablet)
sugar, vanilla, fruit, granola, nuts, etc. (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat milk over low heat until it reaches 180F/82C. Do this slowly and stir the milk frequently. It could take an hour or so to reach the desired temperature.
  • Once the milk has reached 185F take it off the burner and let it cool to room temperature. It could take 30 minutes or so for the milk to cool. Remove any skin that has formed on the milk.
  • Mix 1 cup cooled milk with the skyr and then pour back into the milk.
  • Dissolve the rennet in the water and then pour into the milk.
  • Cover milk with a towel and let it sit in warm place for 12 hours.
  • When the whey has separated from the curd, place a clean tea towel in a colander and place that in a bowl (see photos above). Pour skyr into the colander. Tie the ends of the tea towel together and place bowl in the fridge for several hours until the whey has drained off the skyr.
  • Spoon the skyr into a bowl and mix vigorously with a spoon until smooth. Add desired sweeteners, flavorings, and toppings. Enjoy!

MAKE ICELANDIC YOGURT (SKYR)



Make Icelandic Yogurt (Skyr) image

This recipe for Icelandic yogurt, known as skyr, is easy to make at home. Skyr is much thicker than Western yogurt and not as sweet.

Provided by Kari Diehl

Categories     Breakfast     Snack

Time 12h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 gallon ​ milk (non-fat)
1 (5.5-ounce) container Siggi's plain skyr (or vanilla skyr)
7 drops liquid animal rennet (or 4 drops liquid vegetable rennet)
1/4 cup water (warm, nonchlorinated)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Thoroughly sanitize your equipment (bowls, whisks, measuring spoon) either by rinsing it in boiling water or by removing from a hot dishwasher.
  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring milk to a slow and steady simmer over a medium-high burner, heating it until it reaches the scalding point (use a thermometer to ensure it reaches 185 F to 190 F). This will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir frequently to prevent scalding. If, toward the very end of the heating process, you notice that the milk at the bottom of the pot has begun to scald, reduce the heat to medium-low and stop stirring. A small bit of scalding is OK, but you don't want to release the scalded bits into the mixture.
  • Turn burner off immediately when milk reaches scalding point. Remove from burner and allow to cool to 110 F.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of cooled milk with skyr, then return mixture to the pot, stirring to incorporate.
  • Whisk liquid rennet into warm water, then stir immediately into milk (the rennet will lose its effectiveness if prepared more than 30 minutes before using).
  • Cover pot with a thick towel and keep in a warm, draft-free place (an oven or an insulated cooler) for 12 hours.
  • After the allotted time, curds will have formed. Spoon curds into a fine-meshed bag (nylon vegetable bags work great for this) or a double-layer of cheesecloth.
  • Suspend bag over a dripping tray in a cool room or the refrigerator and allow to drain until skyr is thick.
  • Serve skyr and enjoy. Skyr will keep for three or four weeks, covered, in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make skyr in the oven at 180°F (82°C) for 8-10 hours.
  • To make flavored skyr, add your desired flavorings to the milk before culturing.
  • Skyr can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Skyr is a delicious and healthy yogurt that is easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy this Icelandic yogurt any time you want. Whether you like it plain or flavored, skyr is a great addition to any breakfast, lunch, or snack.
