Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 ml) (2 cups) whole milk
  • ½ cup (100 grams) (½ cup) granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (3 tbsp) cornstarch cornflour in the UK
  • 1 tablespoon (1 tbsp) rose water
  • Crushed pistachios and rose petals for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the sugar, cornstarch and rose water.
  • Whisk continuously until the milk starts thickening. Do not leave the stove as the milk can get burnt easily.
  • Once the milk starts to thicken and get a cream-like consistency, remove from heat. The cream won't be super thick at this point but don't worry it will thicken when it's chilled.
  • Prepare 4 (completely dry) glass bowls, and divide the mixture between them.
  • Let the mixture cool down at room temperature for about half an hour, then transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • When the pudding is completely chilled, flip over on a plate and garnish with chopped pistachios and rose petals if desired.
