INSTRUCTIONS
TO MAKE THE PUDDING
| Step 1 | In a medium saucepan, whisk together Epigamia Unsweetened Almond Drink, dairy-free whipped cream, jaggery/stevia, and cornstarch until the cornstarch has dissolved completely without any visible lumps. |
| Step 2 | Set the saucepan on medium-high heat and bring to a full boil, whisking constantly. Continue to boil for a few more seconds until the mixture thickens and large bubbles form around the surface. |
| Step 3 | Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the orange blossom and rosewater. |
| Step 4 | Pour into cups and refrigerate uncovered until the surface has begun to set for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the Rose Syrup topping. |
TO MAKE THE ROSE SYRUP TOPPING:
| Step 1 | In a small saucepan, turn off the heat, whisk together the rose syrup concentrate, water, and cornstarch until well combined. |
| Step 2 | Set the saucepan over medium-high flame and bring to a full boil, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and large bubbles form around the surface. |
| Step 3 | Remove the saucepan from the heat and spoon a thin layer of the rose topping over the surface of each pudding cup, tilting the cup to cover evenly. |
| Step 4 | Refrigerate until set and cold, for about 2 hours or overnight. |
TO MAKE THE PISTACHIO TOPPING:
| Step 1 | In a medium skillet, on medium-high flame, melt vegan butter and add in the pistachios. Sauté the pistachios in vegan butter, stirring frequently until it’s just beginning to toast. Add in the jaggery and stir until melted and lightly caramelized around the pistachios. Turn off the heat, then add in the orange blossom water. Transfer to another bowl, and allow to cool completely. |
| Step 2 | Spoon the pistachio topping evenly over the cooled pudding cups. Serve right away or refrigerate for 2-3 hours. |
