This light dessert, flavored with rosewater, has the origin of Lesbos. This was making of my mother in law, who was from there.
From what she told me, it was given in women who had just given birth, to strengthen, in order to have enough milk to breastfeed their baby. This is because it is a starchy dessert with sugar and nuts. Therefore quite energizing and suitable for new mothers.
Cold from the fridge is a very refreshing cream. It comes instead of white almonds with fresh, raw pistachio or sprinkled with cinnamon.
