Strawberry Cup Cream

Ingredients (serves for 3 to 4 members)
For cup:
Almonds (badam) - 66
Dates - 12
Fig (dried) - 6
Palm sugar crystals - 1 tbsp
Cinnamon powder - 1 pinch
For cream:
Strawberry - 4 to 5
Cashew nuts - 5
Palm sugar crystals - 1 tbsp
Lime juice - 2 drops (optional)

For decoration and improved taste
Honey – few drops

Preparation
Wash the almond, dates and figs thoroughly with water and let the moist stay.

Method
In a mixer add the washed almonds, dates and fig along with palm sugar crystals and cinnamon powder and grind them coarsely. Transfer them to a bowl and make them into cups with the bottom being a little thick.
Next grind the strawberries, cashew nuts and palm sugar crystals without adding water into a fine paste, you can add lime juice if preferred.
Arrange the cups on a freezer safe dish and pour the paste into the cups, add a drop of honey for added flavor. Keep in the freezer for 2 hours to make the paste taste like ice- cream and serve cold.
