High-protein, low-calorie cream based on curd cheese and skyr with minimal carbohydrates.
Light Curd Cheese Cream with Skyr and Pepper is an ideal proposition for people watching their weight who are looking for a quick and filling meal. This Light Curd Cheese Cream with Skyr and Pepper is based on a combination of traditional Polish curd cheese with Icelandic skyr, which guarantees a powerful dose of protein with a minimum amount of fat and carbohydrates. The key to success in this recipe is proper seasoning – freshly ground pepper and a bit of vinegar give the mass a distinctness that breaks the neutral taste of dairy. Light Curd Cheese Cream with Skyr and Pepper uses only a trace amount of buckwheat to add texture without drastically increasing the calorie content of the dish. By using products with a short expiration date, like curd cheese and skyr, we not only take care of our fitness but also prevent food waste. Skyr acts here as a natural thickener and sauce base, replacing caloric cream or mayonnaise. This dish works great as a post-workout snack or a light dinner. You can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more skyr if you prefer a dip form, or leave it more compact. Remember to use good quality salt, which will emphasize the natural qualities of the dairy ingredients. You will prepare everything in less than 15 minutes, which makes this recipe an excellent solution for busy people.
