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
- 0 fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add powdered sugar to the yogurt and mix gently until the sugar is fully incorporated.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Fold in half of the sliced pistachios and almonds, reserving the rest for garnish.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Before serving, give the shrikhand a gentle stir. Divide it into individual serving bowls.
Step 8
Garnish each serving with the remaining sliced pistachios, almonds, and optional fresh fruit.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy this delicious Vegan Shrikhand.
