irresistibly creamy, fragrant apricot pudding

 
 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 packet of Natural Apricot Paste

  • 500 ml Water

  • 2 TBSP Sugar

  • 2 TBSP Cornflour

  • 50 g Unsalted Butter

  • 1 cup dried Apricot

GARNISH

  • Freshly ground pistachio

  • Roasted Almonds

  • Roasted pine nuts

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cut the Apricot paste into small squares & soak in 500 ml of water for an hour or so. (The paste should have melted and formed a juice-like texture).

  • Take two tablespoons of the juice and place in a small bowl, add 2 TBSP sugar and 2 TBSP of corn flour. Mix well to form a cornstarch slurry.

  • Dissolve the cornstarch slurry in the remaining of juice until no lumps are visible.

  • Place the mixture in a deep pot over a medium heat & bring to a gentle boil.

  • Let the pudding simmer until thickened (a few minutes).

  • Remove from heat & add the 50 g unsalted butter, mix well.

  • Thoroughly wash 1 cup of dried apricots & mix into the pudding.

You should be left with a bright orange, silky & ever so slightly shiny pudding.

  • Pour into individual serving plates, or a large sharing plate and garnish with nuts.

  • Serve cold or at room temperature.

GARNISH

  • Garnish with freshly roasted almonds, pine nuts & a little ground pistachio for colour.

RECIPE NOTES

  • Feel free to add more sugar if you find the pudding isn't sweet enough- but for me, its the perfect balance, especially when served with a sharp, white, Bulgarian cheese.
