Ingredients

Saffron Mousse

• 1 Cup Greek Style Yogurt
• 1 Pinch Nomad Pure Spanish Saffron Threads
• 2 tbsp Rose Honey Recipe Below
• 6 tbsp Low Fat Milk
• 1 tbsp Nomad Rose Petals Chopped
• 1/2 tsp Gelatin, Unflavored Substitute with Agar Agar
• Vegetable Oil To Grease Ramekins
• Rose Petals & Slivered Almonds For Garnish

Rose Honey

• 1/2 Cup Honey
• 1/4 Cup Nomad Rose Petals

Instructions

Rose Honey

• Add Honey & Rose petals to a bowl. Let it stand for a few days to a couple of weeks. It gets more fragrant with time.

Preparing the Mousse

• Add yogurt to a bowl. Whisk it well in the bowl to make it fluffy & airy.
• Gently crush the saffron threads between your fingers. Blend it in with the yogurt. Set aside & let it sit for a couple of hours for the flavor of the saffron  to be infused. The Yogurt will take on the light yellow color from the saffron.
• Sprinkle gelatin over 1 Tablespoon water in a small bowl and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat the milk in the microwave for about 40 seconds or till almost boiling hot. Stir in gelatin in the warm milk until dissolved & there are no lumps.
• Mix yogurt, rose petals & honey.
• Mix a little yogurt into gelatin and then mix the gelatin into the rest of the yogurt, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Whisk them together well again to blend & fluff.
• Line the Ramekins with vegetable oil.
• You can line them with a few rose petals if you want. Spoon the yogurt mix in to the ramekins. Cover & put them  in a refrigerator and chill until it sets (about 6-8 hours. Overnight works best).
• Before serving, place a plate over the ramekin, turn it over & tap the ramekin lightly for it to come out.

  Drizzle some rose petal honey on the mousse & serve chilled.
