As the warm summer days approach, I find myself yearning for something light, fragrant, and utterly unique to delight my taste buds. That’s why today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe for Saffron Rosewater Custard. This delicate dessert combines the rich flavors of saffron and rosewater in a creamy, silky custard that is sure to transport you to a magical realm of flavor.

To create this enchanting dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

• 500ml whole milk
• 1/2 tsp saffron threads
• 50g cornflour
• 100g sugar
• 1 tbsp rosewater

Gather the following kitchen tools to aid you in the preparation:

• saucepan
• whisk
• ramekins

Begin by heating the milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the saffron threads to the milk, allowing them to infuse their golden hue and delicate flavor. In a separate bowl, mix the cornflour and sugar together until well combined. Slowly pour the mixture into the warm saffron-infused milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Continue to stir the custard over low heat until it thickens to a smooth, velvety consistency. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fragrant rosewater, infusing the custard with its romantic floral notes. Pour the custard into individual ramekins and refrigerate until set, allowing the flavors to meld and develop.

After chilling for a few hours, the Saffron Rosewater Custard is ready to be served. The silky texture, warm saffron undertones, and delicate rosewater essence make this dessert a truly exotic treat for the senses.
