Oct 23, 2024 Kesar (saffron) and pista (pistachios) is such a classic combination. It’s used in numerous desserts worldwide and particularly in Indian and Middle eastern desserts. When I was little, kesar pista kulfi was one of my favorites and I love using this flavor combination in my dessert recipes. For this year’s festive recipe, I combined the 2 flavors in this Kesar Pista Tiramisu. It has layers of saffron soaked ladyfingers at the base followed by saffron flavored mascarpone cheese and topped with pistachios. I love coming up with different variations of tiramisu like gulab jamun tiramisu, mango tiramisu. This particular one tastes like rasmalai, the ladyfingers soak in the saffron syrup well and when you eat the dessert with all its layers, it feels like you are eating rasmalai! It’s definitely perfect for the festive season.
