A delightful Lebanese dessert known as cocktail shikaf is gaining popularity for its delicious blend of ripe summer fruits. The dessert involves blending each fruit variety with milk separately to create distinct layers in a smoothie form. Chopped fruits are added between layers to enhance texture and prevent mixing.
Traditional cocktail shikaf is typically served with clotted cream, but a unique twist includes a mixture of ricotta, honey, chopped fruits, and nuts. To fully enjoy this dessert, it is recommended to serve it with both a straw and a spoon.
Ingredients for this recipe include a ripe avocado, banana, whole milk, honey, mango, strawberries, mixed fruit, ricotta, nuts, and honey for serving.
Preparation involves blending the avocado layer ingredients, layering them in Mason jars with chopped fruit, and repeating the process with mango and strawberry layers. A mix of ricotta and honey is then added on top, along with nuts, more chopped fruit, and a drizzle of honey.
This refreshing dessert recipe serves two and offers a delightful twist on the traditional Lebanese cocktail shikaf.
