Koldskål med ymer og creme fraiche - cold buttermilk dish

Koldskål (cold buttermilk dish) is traditional Danish Summer dish for the very warm Summer days, when you find it to hot to cook a warm meal. In my opinion you can either serve this dish as a cold main course or as dessert, it depends on your individual preferences.

I have found this recipe in the magazine (Isabellas), and I have made a few changes, so it fitted into the ingredients available in my kitchen.
