Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1.5 teaspoons Rosewater
- 1.5 teaspoons Orange blossom water
- 2 tablespoons Ground pistachios
- 1 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together 4 cups of whole milk and 0.75 cups of granulated sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
In a small bowl, dissolve 4 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/4 cup of cold milk, stirring until smooth and lump-free.
Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan while continuously whisking to prevent clumps from forming.
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens. This should take about 10 to 12 minutes. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon when it's ready.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1.5 teaspoons each of rosewater and orange blossom water. Mix well to combine the fragrant flavors.
Pour the pudding into small serving glasses or ramekins. Allow them to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely set.
Before serving, garnish each pudding with a sprinkle of ground pistachios and optional shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy this luscious, aromatic dessert chilled!
