Honeyed Nut & Pomegranate Pots Recipe

Introduction

These honeyed nut and pomegranate pots are a delightful blend of crunchy textures and creamy sweetness. With layers of nuts, honey, and tangy yogurt, they make a refreshing and elegant dessert that’s easy to prepare ahead of time.

Ingredients

• 85g shredded wheat, crushed
• 200g pistachios, chopped
• 100g honey
• Juice of ½ orange
• 300ml pot double cream
• ½ x 250g pot Greek yogurt
• 2 tsp rosewater
• 110g pot pomegranate seeds

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the crushed shredded wheat with the chopped pistachios, 50ml of the honey, and the orange juice. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
2. Step 2: Divide this mixture between 8 small glasses or teacups, creating the base layer for your pots.
3. Step 3: Whip the double cream until it just holds soft peaks. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt, the remaining honey, and rosewater to create a smooth, fragrant cream.
4. Step 4: Spoon this creamy mixture over the nut base in each pot, smoothing the tops.
5. Step 5: Cover and chill the pots in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, to let the flavors meld and the texture set.
6. Step 6: Just before serving, sprinkle the pomegranate seeds on top of each pot for a fresh, jewel-like finish.

Tips & Variations

• For added crunch, toast the pistachios lightly before chopping.
• Substitute rosewater with orange blossom water for a different floral note.
• Try using other nuts like almonds or walnuts if pistachios aren’t available.
• Serve with a drizzle of extra honey on top for more sweetness if desired.

Storage

Store the assembled pots covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This dessert is best enjoyed chilled. If needed, give them a gentle stir before serving, but avoid mixing in the pomegranate seeds ahead of time to keep them fresh and vibrant.

FAQs

Can I make these pots ahead of time?

Yes, these pots can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and kept in the fridge. This allows the flavors to develop and the dessert to set perfectly.

Double cream is recommended for its richness and ability to whip well, but heavy cream can be used as a substitute if double cream is unavailable.

Instructions

1. Prepare the base: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed shredded wheat, chopped pistachios, 50ml honey, and the juice of half an orange. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients evenly. Once mixed, divide this mixture evenly among 8 small glasses or teacups to form the crunchy base layer.
2. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until it reaches a very soft peak consistency, ensuring it is smooth and airy but not too stiff.
3. Fold in yogurt and flavorings: Gently fold the Greek yogurt, remaining 50ml honey, and 2 teaspoons of rosewater into the whipped cream. Mix carefully to maintain the light texture of the whipped cream while evenly distributing the ingredients.
4. Assemble the pots: Spoon the cream and yogurt mixture evenly over the prepared base in each glass, creating a layered dessert.
5. Chill: Place the pots in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the cream to set. They can be chilled for up to 24 hours in advance.
6. Add garnish and serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the pomegranate seeds on top of each pot to add a fresh, juicy burst of flavor and a pop of color.

Notes

• For best texture, use freshly whipped cream with soft peaks to ensure a light and airy topping.
• Chilling time can be extended up to 24 hours to enhance flavors and set the dessert firmly.
• Rosewater adds a floral aroma; adjust quantity to taste.
• Use good quality Greek yogurt for creaminess and tang.
• Substitute pistachios with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
