Skyr is a delicious national cheese, with the consistency of yoghurt. Though it comes in many flavours, pure Skyr can be used to make a delightful Creme Brulee, to put an Icelandic twist on a French classic.

- 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

Preparation:

1- 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.
2- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and add to the warm skyr mixture.
3- Stir together the egg yolk and sugar and add to the skyr mixture along with the lime juice. Put into cr�me brulée ramekins and bake in a water bath at 120 C for 30 minutes. Cool.
4- Sprinkle with demerara sugar and melt the sugar with a cr�me brulée torch.
