Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Rose water
- 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
- 0.25 cup Crushed pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the water until it forms a smooth slurry with no lumps.
Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the milk mixture, stirring constantly to avoid clumps.
Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rose water and orange blossom water. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Let it cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until completely set.
Before serving, garnish each dish with crushed pistachios or your preferred toppings if desired.
