Instructions
1
Whisk the cornstarch into 3 tablespoons of the cold skim milk until fully smooth with no lumps.
2
Heat the remaining skim milk in a small saucepan over medium heat with the ground cardamom and saffron-milk until just steaming, not boiling.
3
Pour in the cornstarch slurry, whisking constantly, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens to a light custard coating the back of a spoon.
4
Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until dissolved, then cool the custard for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally to stop a skin forming.
5
Once the custard is just warm (not hot), whisk in the whey protein isolate until completely smooth - do not add it while the custard is still boiling hot.
6
Fold the whisked Greek yogurt through the cooled custard until fully incorporated and silky.
7
Divide the custard between two bowls, cover and chill for at least 2 hours until fully set and cold.
8
Just before serving, top each bowl with diced mango, pomegranate seeds, slivered almonds and chopped pistachio.
