Coruscant Blue Milk Pudding
Rosewater brightens up this lightly sweetened milk pudding, naturally turned blue using butterfly pea flowers in the style of the blue milk in Star Wars.
Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Fine mesh sieve
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 4 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- Small handful of dried butterfly pea flowers about 20 to 25 flowers (optional)
- ½ tsp rosewater
- Crushed pistachios or edible flowers for garnish optional
Instructions
- In a medium pan, whisk the milk, cornstarch, sugar, and dried butterfly pea flowers together.
- Heat the mixture on medium heat for 5-7 minutes until it starts to thicken.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the rosewater (see note!). Cook, stirring constantly, for another minute.
- Pour the pudding through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the pudding through, to remove the pea flowers (technically edible but chewy and not delicious).
- Serve in small bowls and garnish as desired. This is delicious either hot or chilled.
Notes
Measure the rosewater over a tiny bowl or plate - do NOT pour into the measuring spoon while directly over the pudding! Even a tiny spill can make a huge difference in the flavor and quality of the pudding.
The butterfly pea flowers are only for the blue color and do not add any flavor - they can be left out if you prefer regular white pudding. If you can't find them locally, these can be ordered in bulk online.
