Sometimes the simplest ingredients can make the best dishes. This recipe varies from home to home making it special and unique. Over the years, I have tweaked it with different flavors. This particular recipe is loved by my daughters who are always looking for healthier versions of dishes.
My mother would make this dish and pour it into small ramekins and top it with nuts and honey. It’s perfect after any meal or enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea. The delicate flavor of orange blossom water puts this pudding on a level of its own.

Instructions
- To prepare the pudding, place cornstarch in a bowl and add 1 cup milk and mix. Place the 5 other cups of milk, coconut and cornstarch mixture in a pot and boil over medium heat.

- Pour mixture into individual ramekins and allow to cool.
- Top with chopped pistachio, rose petals and honey.
