Equipment

Ingredients

1 apple
1 tablespoon lemon juice
8 oz cream cheese
⅓ cup sugar
8 oz sour cream
4 tablespoon pistachios
1 teaspoon saffron strands

Instructions

The first step is washing the apples well and scraping off the wax with a knife. Chop them finely using a chopper. Transfer it to a bowl and add lemon juice to it. This prevents it from blackening. Let the apples rest in there till you prepare the mousse.
In another mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar.
Using an electric hand blender, beat the mixture till light and creamy. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to fully incorporate everything.
Then strain the apples and add them to this bowl along with chopped pistachios. Reserve some for garnish.
Fold in the mixture using a silicone spatula.
Portion into small bowls or glass jars. Use a piping bag if needed. Place them into the refrigerator and allow it to chill for 2 hours.
Before serving, garnish it with some chopped apples, pistachios, and saffron strands (optional).

Notes

Wash the apples well and scrape off the wax on them with a knife before using them. There is no need to peel the skin.

If you want a smoother texture, grate the apples instead of chopping them. Instead of apples, feel free to use any other fruit like mango, frozen berries, chickoo, etc.

Saffron is optional. Add it as a garnish if you have it handy. Even cardamom can be added. Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of the apples.
