Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams coconut yogurt
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 1 pinch saffron strands
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 2 tablespoons sliced pistachios
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the coconut yogurt in a large bowl. Make sure it's thick; if not, let it sit on a clean muslin cloth or a fine sieve over a bowl for an hour to drain excess water.
In a small bowl, warm the almond milk slightly and add the saffron strands. Allow them to soak for about 5 minutes to release their color and flavor.
Add powdered sugar to the yogurt and mix gently until the sugar is fully incorporated.
Pour the saffron-infused almond milk into the yogurt mixture, along with ground cardamom and rose water. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Fold in half of the sliced pistachios and almonds, reserving the rest for garnish.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and for the shrikhand to set.
Before serving, give the shrikhand a gentle stir. Divide it into individual serving bowls.
Garnish each serving with the remaining sliced pistachios, almonds, and optional fresh fruit.
Serve chilled and enjoy this delicious Vegan Shrikhand.
