• 1 tbspbutterstirred into the caramelised granola (optional)

• 2 tspvanilla sugarfor compote and granola (optional)

Method

1. Cook the berry compotePut the berries in a small pan with the sugar and the lemon or lime juice and bring to the boil. Add the diced apple and a little vanilla sugar if you like. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the berries release their juice, then leave to cool.
2. Mix the nuts and oatsRoughly chop the almonds or walnuts and mix them with the rolled oats and the seeds.
3. Option: toast granola in a panFor pan-toasted granola, toast the mixture in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden, turning it often. For a caramelised version, sprinkle over a little sugar, let it melt, and stir in the butter at the end.
4. Option: bake granola in the ovenFor oven-baked granola, heat the oven to 300 °F. Mix the oat mixture with the honey and a little vanilla sugar if using, spread it thinly on a baking tray lined with baking paper, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden.
5. Let the granola coolSpread the granola out on baking paper and let it cool completely. It turns crisp as it cools.
6. Layer in glasses and serveDivide the skyr between glasses, spoon the cooled berries on top, and finish with a scattering of granola.

Tips and variations

Instead of homemade compote, you can use lingonberries from a jar. If you can't get skyr, plain yogurt works too. For an ice lolly on hot days, blend skyr with frozen blueberries, lime juice and zest and maple syrup, pour into moulds and freeze for at least 4 hours; leave out the granola. When serving, add the granola just before eating so it stays crisp.
