Ingredients

200 g fresh cherries pitted and halved
10 to 12 fresh green almonds thinly sliced or chopped
125 ml Creme Fraiche
125 ml Greek yoghurt
1 to 2 rose water adjust to taste
2 tsp mild honey plus extra to drizzle
pinch sea salt

Optional

chopped pistachios or crushed dried rose petals for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the fruit

Halve and pit the cherries.
Wash the almonds gently to remove surface fuzz. Slice thinly, including skin using a sharp knife

Make the rose cream

In a bowl, whip the cream lightly (or stir the yoghurt) until just thickened but still soft. Add the rose water, honey, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness or floral intensity.
Fold in the thinly sliced fresh almonds.

Assemble

Spoon the cream mixture into small bowls or glasses. Top with cherries. Drizzle a little honey over the top. Garnish with pistachios or rose petals if using.
Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes for a firmer set.
