Gammeldags tykmælk opskrift - An Old Fashion Danish Thick Milk Recipe - A version of a Junket Recipe

Have you ever had Junket or in Danish "tykmælk"? Junket is a milk product which has been produced in Denmark for hundreds of years.  Junket is one of the most popular fermented milk products in Denmark.  My mother made junket when I was growing up.  It is very easy to make.

• 2 cups of whole milk 
• 1/2 a cup pf heavy cream
