How these numbers were made

  • Calculated from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy) per-100 g values and the listed quantities.
  • *Per 100 g of combined raw ingredients; the cooked dish may weigh more or less.
  • Optional ingredients are not included: vanilla extract.
  • Skyr: Plain nonfat Greek yogurt (FDC 170894) used as a stand-in; plain skyr is a similarly strained, high-protein, very low-fat cultured dairy product.

Good to know

Tips

  • Skyr is thicker than most yogurts — loosening it with cream or milk gives the classic silky texture.

Storage

  • Assemble just before eating.

Variations

  • Skyr with rhubarb: Top with stewed rhubarb instead of berries.
