02

Gradually add the remaining 3 cups of whole milk to the saucepan, whisking continuously to combine.

03

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency and begins to bubble gently.

04

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the rosewater.

05

Pour the muhallebi into 4 individual serving bowls or ramekins. Allow to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.

06

Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.

Before serving, garnish each muhallebi with chopped pistachios.

Chef's Tips

For an extra creamy texture, you can pass the cooked muhallebi through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into serving bowls. Adjust the amount of rosewater to your preference; a little goes a long way.

Easy Substitutions

Almond extract can be used instead of rosewater for a different flavor profile. You can also substitute other nuts like walnuts or almonds for pistachios as a garnish.
