About this dish

This chilled milk pudding is thickened with nothing more than cornflour, so it sets to a delicate, spoonable wobble rather than a firm custard. A splash of rosewater goes in once the pan is off the heat, keeping its scent bright, and a scatter of chopped pistachios finishes each bowl.
