Allergens

Nuts (almonds and pistachios), Cashews

In a high speed blender, combine cashew cream, maple syrup, rosewater, and lemon zest. Blend until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, mix crushed almonds, chopped pistachios, and diced apricots. Carefully fold the nut mixture into the cream mixture, taking care not to overmix. Pour the mixture into two serving glasses and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

The combination of rosewater and lemon zest is reminiscent of traditional Turkish desserts while still being fully vegan.

This recipe is perfect for a vegan dessert or a refreshing midday treat.

For a nut-free version, substitute almonds and pistachios with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. For a cashew-free version, use a coconut cream base.

This frozen treat can also be enjoyed as a mousse by skipping the freezing step and serving immediately.

None, as this is a no-cook recipe.

Store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve.

Up to 1 week in the freezer.

Serve in chilled glasses on a slate or marble board, garnished with edible flowers and a sprinkle of crushed nuts.
