Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk cornstarch with 3 tbsp cold milk until smooth. Heat the rest of the milk in a small saucepan over medium until steaming, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Pour the cornstarch mixture into hot milk, whisking constantly until thickened and glossy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rose water.

  3. Step 3

    Divide muhalbia between two bowls. Top one with the cooked rice (sutlac) and the other with cocoa powder whisked with 2 tbsp cold milk (chocolate pudding).

  4. Step 4

    Scatter pistachios over all three puddings. Chill for 5 minutes if you have time, or serve immediately.
