Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Thick coconut yogurt (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 1 tablespoon Warm almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
Instructions
In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in warm almond milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to release its color and flavor.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thick coconut yogurt and honey. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the cardamom powder, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.
Add the saffron-infused almond milk to the yogurt mixture, including the saffron strands, and gently fold it in.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and for the shrikhand to chill.
Before serving, give the shrikhand a gentle stir. Scoop into serving bowls and garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds for a delightful crunch.
Enjoy your Paleo Shrikhand as a dessert or a delightful treat any time of the day.
