Vegan Baklava Lassi
Prep Time 5 mins Cook Time 5 mins Total Time 10 mins Servings: 2

Ingredients

1 cup (240 ml) non dairy milk
2 tablespoons raw pistachios, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons almond flour optional
6-7 dates
Zest of ½ lemon
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup (245 g) non-dairy yogurt
1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar optional as needed

Instructions

Add the milk, nuts, almond flour and dates to a blender and blend for a minute then let it sit for 5 minutes and then repeat 3 or 4 times until all the nuts are well blended in.
Then add yogurt, lemon zest and cinnamon and blend again.
Taste and adjust flavor, add more maple syrup or sugar if you want it sweeter and blend again.
Then pour it over in glasses at least ½ filled with ice cubes and serve. Optionally top the lassi with some chopped pistachios.
This makes a really thick lassi. You can add ice cubes to the mixture when you add yogurt to blend some in so that it becomes a little lighter.

Notes
Variation flavors: add some vanilla or cardamom
Pistachio sub: Use walnuts or pecans
Yogurt sub: Lassi is a yogurt drink. Without yogurt it would be a milkshake. You can use thick non dairy milk such as coconut cream or cashew milk instead for a baklava milkshake
