Ingredients
- 1 l milk full-fat (whole
- 220 g caster sugar or granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon rice flour
- 2 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 50 g ground almond
- 15 g desiccated coconut (optional)
- pistachio ground, for garnish
- red fruit ground, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the egg yolk, sugar, rice flour, and corn starch in a saucepan and mix.
- Add ½ cup of milk to the mix and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Add the remaining milk.
- Add the ground almond and desiccated coconut to the saucepan, and mix well.
- Place the saucepan on medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously.
- Cook the mixture for a few more minutes and then add the vanilla paste.
- When the pudding gets thick enough, remove the pan from the heat and divide the mixture into serving bowls. You can check the consistency of the pudding with a spoon. It should be covering the back of the spoon without dripping.
- Let the bowls chill in the fridge for a couple of hours and then garnish them with ground pistachio, coconut flakes, and red fruits before serving.

Notes
- You can use almond milk if you have a dairy intolerance.
- This indulgent Turkish milk dessert is very easy to make and comes together in just 25 minutes.
- Turn this delicious pudding into vegan by omitting the egg yolk and using almond milk instead of regular milk.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more milk if it's too thick or adding cornstarch slurry if it is too thin.
- Make sure to stir the pudding continuously on low heat without letting it boil.
