Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 75 grams Ground rice
- 1 liters Whole milk
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange blossom water
- 1 teaspoon Rose water (optional)
- 30 grams Crushed pistachios (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon powder (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ground rice with 1/4 cup of the milk to form a smooth paste. Stir thoroughly to avoid any lumps.
In a large saucepan, heat the remaining milk over medium heat until it starts to steam, but do not let it boil.
Gradually whisk the rice paste into the saucepan of steaming milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Keep stirring to prevent sticking.
Add the granulated sugar to the mixture and continue to stir over medium-low heat. Cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to the consistency of custard.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the orange blossom water and optional rose water. Mix well to distribute the flavor evenly.
Pour the hot pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Before serving, garnish with crushed pistachios and a light sprinkle of cinnamon powder if desired.
Enjoy this chilled and aromatic Ground Rice Pudding Mehallabia as a refreshing dessert!
