Notes

  • This recipe is forgiving — play with it. Swap pistachios for almonds, add a drop of rose water to the cream, or use white chocolate for a whole new vibe.
  • The magic is in the layers, so take your time and build them with love. And if the kids help? Even better. A few messy fingers never hurt a good dessert.
