  • Preparation: 5 min
  • Cooking: 45 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (535 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
  • Contains: dairy, nut

Ingredients

  • 500 g Milk, whole
  • 25 g Sugar
  • 0.3 g Cardamom
  • 0.05 g Saffron
  • 5 g Pistachios
  • 5 g Almonds

Method

  1. Pour the milk into a wide, heavy pan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring often so it does not catch on the bottom.
  2. Lower the heat and simmer, scraping the thickened skin from the sides back into the milk every few minutes, until the milk reduces by about three-quarters and turns creamy, 35-40 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sugar, crushed cardamom and saffron, and simmer for 3-4 minutes more until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Take off the heat, cool slightly, and scatter over the slivered pistachios and almonds before serving warm or chilled.
