In a medium saucepan, combine the manų kruopos and milk.
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a creamy porridge, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Add the varškė, sugar, and salt.
Stir gently until the varškė is mixed in and heated through. It's okay if there are small varškė curds – that's part of the charm!
If using, stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve warm. Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and toasted nuts or seeds if desired.
💡 Royal Wisdom Tips:
- 🫐 Don't be shy with the toppings! Fresh berries, toasted nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon take this from delicious to divine.
- 🥄 For an extra smooth texture, you can whisk the varškė separately with a little milk before adding it to the pot.
- ❄️ Made too much? It can be stored in the fridge for a day, but it's best enjoyed fresh off the stove!
- ✨ A tiny pinch of salt actually enhances the sweetness! Trust the process!
