In a microwave safe bowl, warm up the whole milk for 30 seconds. Add the saffron and ground cardamon to the milk and stir. Next add 1 cup of evaporated milk and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk together. Place in the fridge until ready to use.

In your stand mixture or hand held blender, combine heavy whipping cream and confectioners sugar on high speed for 5-7 mins until stiff peaks are formed. Place in the fridge until ready to use!

Once the cupcakes are done baking, using a toothpick poke about 15 – 2- holes in the cupcake and spoon 1-2 tbsp of the milk mixture slowly on each cupcake evenly.
-
Let cupcakes sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before placing in the refrigerator for at a hour.
-
Place your whipped cream frosting in a pipping back or simply just use a butter knife and spread evenly on the cupcakes. Garnish with chopped pistachios and rose petals. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you have a blend tec, beast or nutribullet you can also use this to make the whipped frosting.
- I did use wax paper cup cake liners because it held the milk mixture very well and did not leak. You can also use the foil liner or even better silicone!
- When placing the cupcakes in the fridge please place them on a baking tray or plate in case the mix leaks!
- For eggless, simply substitute 1 egg for 3 tbsp of yogurt. I use whole milk yogurt but you can use greek as well and it still turns out amazing.
- The dried rose petals can we found at whole foods, its the 365 brand and can be found in the same aisle as seasonings.
