Prep Time 15 minutes
Course Dessert
Cuisine Danish, Scandi
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 600 ml buttermilk our nearest Sainsbury’s sells buttermilk in 300ml pots, so I have to scale it up in 300s!
  • 600 ml Greek yoghurt
  • 3 eggs yolks
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 1 lemon
  • ½ vanilla pod ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract works very well too and is infinitely cheaper!

To serve

  • 250 g fresh strawberries to serve
  • Kammerjunker biscuits

Instructions
 

  • Slit the halved vanilla pod open, flatten it out and scrape out the seeds using a sharp knife.Either using a stand mixer or hand whisk, whisk the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla seeds until pale, thick and fluffy.Stirring continuously, add the zest of the lemon juice and the yoghurt, mixing until throughly combined.Add the buttermilk and mix again, before squeezing in the juice from half the lemon. Pop in the fridge to chill, while you wash and quarter the strawberries.Serve the koldskål with the berries sprinkled over the top, along with a handful of crushed kammerjunker; sometimes I add a little chopped mint too.
