HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the milk is warm but not boiling, about 5 minutes.

02

Gradually whisk in the fine semolina, a little at a time, to prevent lumps. Continue whisking constantly for 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a creamy pudding consistency.

03

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the orange blossom water.

04

Divide the pudding evenly among 4 small serving bowls or ramekins.

05

Allow the puddings to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.

06

Before serving, sprinkle each pudding with chopped pistachios and drizzle with honey.

Chef's Tips

For an extra creamy texture, you can add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pudding along with the orange blossom water. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference; some like it sweeter, others prefer a more subtle sweetness.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have orange blossom water, rose water can be used for a different but equally delightful floral note. Almonds or walnuts can replace pistachios for the topping.
