Ingredients
  • 213.7 ml Whole milk (non-fat to adjust for macros)
  • 12.8 g Rice flour
  • 11.0 g Almonds, slivered
  • 2.3 tsp Orange blossom water
Method
  1. 01In a small saucepan, whisk the rice flour into the cold milk until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. 02Place over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
  3. 03As the mixture begins to heat, it will thicken into a silky, custard-like consistency; continue cooking for about 5 minutes until it coats the back of the spoon.
  4. 04Remove from heat immediately and stir in the orange blossom water.
  5. 05Pour into a small glass bowl or ramekin and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set.
  6. 06While the pudding chills, lightly toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and golden-brown.
  7. 07To serve, garnish the chilled pudding with the toasted almonds.
  8. 08The contrast between the cool, floral cream and the warm, crunchy nut garnish is essential.
