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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve 4 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/4 cup of cold milk, stirring until smooth and lump-free.

Step 3

Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan while continuously whisking to prevent clumps from forming.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Before serving, garnish each pudding with a sprinkle of ground pistachios and optional shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Enjoy this luscious, aromatic dessert chilled!
