Ingredients

  • A large pinch of saffron, soaked in ¼ cup warm milk
  • A pinch of saffron strands
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • ¾ cup condensed milk
  • 1 cup fresh cream
  • ¼ cup melted white chocolate
  • 8-10 pistachios, blanched, peeled and slivered
  • Dried rose petals for sprinkling
  • 1 fresh strawberry, vertically quartered
  • Pistachios powder for sprinkling

Method

  1. Take yogurt in a large bowl, add condensed milk, fresh cream and soaked saffron and whisk till well combined. Pour the mixture into small heatproof serving glasses till they are ¾ full. 
  2. Tightly cover each glass with a piece of aluminium foil.
  3. Heat sufficient water in a steamer. Place the glasses into the steamer basket, cover and steam on medium heat for 8-10 minutes. 
  4. Meanwhile, to make the chocolate garnish, spread melted white chocolate evenly on a plastic sheet. Sprinkle pistachios, dried rose petals and saffron strands. Place another plastic sheet over it and roll the mixture with a rolling pin. Keep this in the refrigerator till the chocolate sets. 
  5. Carefully take the glasses out of the steamer and place them on a plate and let them cool down to room temperature. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or chilled completely. 
  6. Remove one of the plastic sheet from the chocolate garnish and cut the chocolate into triangles. 
  7. Discard the aluminium foil from the glasses, insert one chocolate triangle into each glass. Garnish with strawberry quarters and sprinkle pistachios powder. Serve immediately.
