How to Make Sikarni Spiced Sweet Yogurt Pistachio Dessert
- In a large bowl, gently combine 4 cups whole milk yogurt and 1/2 cup sour cream.
- Line a large colander with a cheesecloth. Pour the yogurt mixture into the colander and let it drain in the refrigerator for 12-18 hours, or until it reaches your desired consistency. (The longer it drains, the thicker it will be).
- Once drained, transfer the thickened yogurt to a mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, gently dissolve 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads in 2 tablespoons warm heavy cream (optional).
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and the saffron cream (if using) to the thickened yogurt.
- Stir in 1/2 cup shelled pistachios. Gently fold all ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- To serve, scoop the chilled Sikarni into individual serving bowls or glasses. Garnish generously with extra shelled pistachios.
