Ingredients

• 500 grams Full-fat Greek yogurt
• 50 grams Powdered erythritol
• 4 pieces Green cardamom pods
• 1 pinch Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Warm milk (or almond milk for keto)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional; like almonds or pistachios)
• 0.5 teaspoon Rose water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the Greek yogurt into a large bowl. If the Greek yogurt is too thick, place it in a muslin cloth and hang it for an hour to remove excess whey.

Step 2

While the yogurt is straining (if needed), warm the milk or almond milk gently and soak the saffron strands in it. Allow the saffron to release its color and aroma, which will take about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Next, open the cardamom pods and grind the seeds into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder.

Step 4

After the yogurt is ready and the saffron has steeped, add the powdered erythritol to the yogurt and mix well until completely smooth.

Step 5

Add the saffron-infused milk, cardamom powder, and rose water (if using) to the yogurt mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors thoroughly.

Step 6

Taste the shrikhand and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more erythritol, keeping in mind that the sweetness will enhance as the dessert chills.

Step 7

For an added crunch and flavor, mix in the chopped nuts gently into the shrikhand.

Step 8

Chill the shrikhand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up slightly.

Step 9

Serve Keto Shrikhand chilled, garnished with a few extra saffron strands or chopped nuts if desired.
