👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   For the rhubarb compote: Combine chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has softened and broken down into a compote-like consistency (about 10 minutes). Stir in lemon juice.

   💡 Tip: Adjust sugar to your preference. If rhubarb is very tart, you might need a little more sugar.
2. 2

   Remove the compote from heat and let it cool completely. You can prepare this ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.

   💡 Tip: Cooling the compote ensures it doesn't melt the mousse when assembled.
3. 3

   For the skyr mousse: In a large bowl, whisk together the Icelandic skyr, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

   💡 Tip: Ensure the skyr is at room temperature for easier mixing.
4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

   💡 Tip: Use a chilled bowl and whisk for best results when whipping cream.
5. 5

   Gently fold the whipped cream into the skyr mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the mousse.

   💡 Tip: Folding ensures the mousse remains light and airy.
6. 6

   Spoon the skyr mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.

   💡 Tip: Chilled glasses will help the mousse set faster.
7. 7

   Top each serving of mousse with a generous spoonful of the cooled rhubarb compote. Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

   💡 Tip: Garnish with a sprig of mint or a few fresh berries if desired.
