Nimish Recipe

Nimish Recipe

  • 450g/1lb double cream
  • 50g/1¾oz icing sugar
  • 1 tsp rosewater
  • pinch saffron strands, soaked in 100ml/3½fl oz warm milk for 15 minutes
  • few chopped pistachios and edible silver leaf (optional)
  1. Whip the cream in a bowl until soft peaks just start to form – it’s important not to over-whisk it.
  2. Sift in the icing sugar, then add the rosewater and the now cool saffron milk and strands. Whisk together for a minute until smooth and a few bubbles appear on the surface. Pour gently into small serving bowls or glasses and chill overnight.
  3. Decorate with sliced pistachios, and silver leaf if you like. Serve.
