How to Make Lebanese Date & Orange Blossom Mousse
- In a saucepan, combine chopped Medjool dates and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Transfer the softened dates along with the remaining water into a blender. Add Greek yogurt, honey, orange blossom essence, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks, which takes about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the date mixture until just combined. Take care not to deflate the airy texture of the cream.
- Stir in the orange zest carefully to ensure an even distribution of flavor throughout the mousse.
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing it to chill and set properly.
- Before serving, sprinkle the mousse with chopped pistachios for an optional crunch. Enjoy every creamy bite of this delightful dessert!

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best texture, do not freeze, but if necessary, thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
