Description
Apricot whip . A dessert that’s light , easy to make with very few ingredients ,high on taste and a strait forward recipe . The apricots add extra wickedness . This dessert is a perfect end to a meal And goes swiftly out of sight . The best apricots I have tasted till date are the ones that were shared with me by my class mate laila mehrabhi from Iran . They were long , finger length with a small seed inside . It was a light brown colour on the outer and a pale pink inside . The flavour of the sun was so dominating with a slight sourness and really sweet . Chewy and a taste bomb . I did try my luck to get similar apricots on my trip to Saudi Arabia and the Middle East but nothing near what laila shared with me . I guess , it tasted so delicious because I was given just one apricot and being in a boarding school you know our hunger and strong appetite for food . What ever my hunt has not come to a stop still ….
