Fruit Cocktail and Pistachio Pyrini

We’re all allowed to indulge once in a while, aren’t we? No matter eating or being to a spa or whatever. This creamy, rich, decadent Pyrini uses only five ingredients but tastes absolutely amazing!!It’s the perfect dessert to enjoy warm or chilled depending on your mood. It’s perfectly sweet, smooth and luscious! I hope this coming Ramadan many Maldivians will make this dessert for breakfast.
