Tips & Tricks
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute some of the milk with heavy cream.
- To enhance the nutty flavor, lightly toast the ground almonds before adding them to the pudding mixture.
- If you prefer a stronger rosewater flavor, you can increase the amount to 2 teaspoons.
Serving advice
Serve the Creamy Almond Pudding chilled for the best experience. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
