TURKISH DELIGHT ( LOKUM ) DESSERT


I decided to make this dessert to finish off the lokums left over from the New Years Eve party. The pudding turned out quite nice and light. It was sweet enough with 1 tsp of honey but you can add more if required.

YOU NEED
  • 3 heaped tsp cornflour
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 2 Turkish delights, diced into small cubes
  • Half a cup milk
  • half a cup double cream
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp rose water
  • 1 tsp pistachio nuts
  • pinch of cinnamon
First mix cornflour with cold water in a small jug and set aside.
Dice the Turkish delights into small cubes and place it in a pan together with milk and cream. Heat gently and add the honey and rose water. When it is just starting to boil add the cornflour and water mixture and mix it well into a smooth paste. Take it off the heat and add nuts and cinnamon powder. Pour it in serving dessert glass and let it cool before serving. Decorate with extra nuts and lokum.

NOT; This  serves 1, but will serve 2 if divided into to serving dishes and topped up with whipped cream.
