Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Turkish coffee (finely ground)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cardamom (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, Turkish coffee, and granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk gently until the sugar has dissolved. Allow the mixture to heat until it is just about to simmer, but do not let it boil.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Stir until smooth and no lumps remain.
Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent clumps.
Continue cooking the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon once ready.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the ground cardamom (if using) and vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding into individual serving glasses or ramekins, smoothing the tops with a spoon if necessary.
Let the pudding cool slightly, then cover each serving with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the puddings for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Before serving, garnish with chopped pistachios for a touch of color and crunch.
