Ingredients

  • 1. 1 cup almond flour 2. 4 tablespoons honey 3. 2 cups heavy cream 4. 1/2 cup powdered sugar 5. 1 teaspoon rosewater 6. 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted 7. 1/2 cup crushed pistachios, toasted 8. 4 drops of natural pink food coloring (optional) 9. 1 tablespoon rose petals for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour and honey until fully combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of four dessert glasses or ramekins to create a crust layer.

  3. Using a piping bag or spoon, place a generous layer of the whipped cream mixture on top of each crust layer. If desired, add a few drops of natural pink food coloring to create a more vibrant rose hue.
  4. Chill the Moroccan Rosewater Delight for at least two hours, until set. Garnish with rose petals before serving.
