Phirni Recipe

In a small pot, add the milk, dessert cream, ground cardamom, agar-agar, and semolina, blend using a stick blender for 30 seconds.

Place the pot on a medium heat, bring to a simmer, simmer for 5 minutes while stirring lovingly.

Then add the smooth NESTLÉ full cream sweetened condensed milk and simmer for a further 3 minutes.

TIP: Slow cooking is key to a flavourful, rich Phirni as you let all the flavours fuse together.

Stir in the rose water, rose syrup and lastly the finely chopped pistachio for hints of nutty flavour.

Pour into 6 bowls, refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.

In a small bowl, pour the whipping cream, condensed milk and rose syrup. Using a hand beater fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the cream to stiff peaks.

Fill a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle with the whipped cream.

TIP: If you don’t have a piping bag, you could use a spoon OR if you really want to get crafty, you can use a sandwich or Ziplock bag, just snip off a bottom corner of the bag with scissors and voila - a piping bag!

Lastly pipe the tops of each phirni bowl with whipped rose cream. Top with a rosebud and a sprinkle of pistachios. Sit back to savour every bite.
