Peaches And Skyr Recipes

PEACHES AND CREAM BREAKFAST CAKE

Steps:

• Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the oil, eggs, almond extract, vanilla bean seeds and 1/2 cup of the skyr. Stir to combine. Fold in the diced peaches and 1/4 cup of the almonds. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup almonds.
• Bake until the loaf is golden brown, begins to come away from the sides of the pan and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 5 minutes, then run a blunt knife between the cake and the sides of the pan. Unmold and let cool, right-side up, to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, combine the peach jelly and remaining 1/2 cup skyr in a small bowl, leaving a few streaks of jelly. Set aside.
• Slice the cooled cake with a serrated knife. Top with a dollop of the prepared skyr and garnish with sliced peaches and mint sprigs. The Peaches and Cream Breakfast Cake keeps for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

PEACHES AND "SKYR"

Steps:

• Halve and pit peaches. Holding each half over a bowl to catch any juices, slice peaches into bowl. Sprinkle brown sugar over peaches and toss to combine well. Let peaches stand at room temperature until juices are released, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Just before serving, in a bowl beat heavy cream until it just holds soft peaks and stir in sour cream to make "skyr." With a slotted spoon divide peaches among 4 bowls, reserving juices. Top peaches with skyr and drizzle with reserved juices.
