- 3 tablespoons Pistachios (unsalted, chopped)
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons Warm milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Rosewater
- 0.25 teaspoons Clove powder (optional)
Instructions
Place the saffron strands in a small bowl and add the warm milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to release the vibrant color and flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, cardamom powder, nutmeg, and clove powder (if using) to the yogurt. Mix well to evenly combine the spices and sweetness.
Pour in the saffron-infused milk and rosewater. Stir gently to blend everything together, ensuring the yogurt remains light and fluffy.
Fold in 2 tablespoons of the chopped pistachios, reserving 1 tablespoon for garnish.
Transfer the spiced yogurt mixture into serving bowls or glasses. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the reserved chopped pistachios on top for a crunchy garnish.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
