Ymer, ymerdrys & berries

Ymer is Denmark’s version of sour milk, but in this recipe you can use natural yoghurt instead. It is sprinkled with ymerdrys, a crunchy sweet topping made from Danish rye bread. As it is such an essential component of this recipe, make sure to use an authentic rye bread here, not a light, fluffy version. The bread’s malty and sweet taste is a perfect complement to the slightly sour ymer or yoghurt.

Ingredients

  • 200 g authentic Danish rye bread, broken into large chunks
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 600 g ymer or natural yoghurt
  • 400 g mixed fresh berries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Pulse the bread in a food processor, gradually adding the sugar, until the consistency resembles loose soil.

Tip the mixture on to a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook in the oven for 10–15 minutes, so it takes on a rich brown colour. Watch closely in the last 5 minutes to make sure it doesn’t burn. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray.

Enjoy sprinkled on top of ymer or yoghurt with some fresh berries.
