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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, heat the remaining milk over medium heat until it starts to steam, but do not let it boil.
Step 3
Gradually whisk the rice paste into the saucepan of steaming milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Keep stirring to prevent sticking.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with crushed pistachios and a light sprinkle of cinnamon powder if desired.
Step 8
Enjoy this chilled and aromatic Ground Rice Pudding Mehallabia as a refreshing dessert!
