Ingredients: (yields around 5-6 dessert bowls )
For Pudding:
Whole milk -2 cup
Condensed milk - 1 cup
Heavy cream -1 cup
Water - 1 cup
Cardamom - 2 pods powdered freshly
Arrowroot powder - 2 tbsps
Topping:
Dragon fruit - 1/2 of 1 or as required
Sugar - 4 tsps
Method:
Mix water (at room temperature)and arrowroot powder until smooth. Keep the ramekins/dessert glass ready on the counter.
Heat a wide mouthed pan adding all the milks and arrowroot mixture. Cook it on a very low flame stirring continuously (thickening process takes few mts only) when the whole thing thickens and starts clumping remove from flame and immediately pour into serving glasses or ramekins.(**Work very fast here) Allow it to come to room temperature. Put small squares of cling wrap touching the pudding so a thick skin layer is not formed.
Chill for 4-5 hours for it to set. I put it in the freezer for an hour then once set brought it down to the refrigerator.
Before serving arrange the fruit and mint leaves on top.
For Topping:
While the dessert is chilling make a simple syrup by boiling on a low heat half cup water and 4 tsps sugar when the syrup thickens switch off heat allow it cool.
Cut off a thin layer of skin from the dragon fruit keep some pink skin (its edible)and gently dice the fruit and keep it immersed in the simple syrup. Lightly drain off with a slotted spoon and top it on the serving dish.
Ideal make ahead dessert also #Nobake dessert.
*Arrowroot powder is available in Wholefoods, Walmart and Indian stores.

My younger brother had teeth braces in his school days.... I still remember his difficulty to eat..... This pudding is so lovely with beautiful texture.... I made arrowroot pudding but I like your version more than mine.... Beautiful pictures and the topping of dragon fruit adds vibrancy... 🙂

Never heard of arrowroot, perhaps I have never checked for it. Loving this creamy pudding.
