Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Macaroni
- 3 cups Full-fat milk
- 0.5 cup Condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Rosewater
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dried rose petals (optional)
- 2 drops Pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until soft (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add the full-fat milk and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
Once the milk is warm, stir in the granulated sugar and condensed milk until dissolved.
Add the cooked macaroni to the milk mixture and simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes, allowing the macaroni to absorb some of the sweet milk mixture.
Gently stir in the rosewater, cardamom powder, and heavy cream. If using pink food coloring, add the drops now and mix until evenly colored.
Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
Remove from heat and transfer the dessert to serving bowls or a large dish.
Garnish with chopped almonds, pistachios, and optional dried rose petals for a decorative and aromatic touch.
Serve warm or chilled, according to preference. Enjoy this delightful fusion dessert!
