Ingredients:
- 1 Liter of whole milk
- 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup of rose-flavored syrup (as a substitute for Rob afza)
- 1 cup of sago pearls (tapioca pearls)
- Strawberry-flavored gelatin dessert (prepared according to package instructions)
- 2 teaspoons of basil seeds
- A handful of pistachios, roughly chopped
- A handful of almonds, roughly chopped
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sago Pearls:
- Rinse the sago pearls under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the sago pearls. Cook them on medium heat until they become translucent and soft, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain the sago pearls and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- Hydrate the Basil Seeds:
- In a small bowl, soak the basil seeds in enough water to cover them. They will swell and become gel-like in about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Strawberry Gelatin:
- Prepare the strawberry-flavored gelatin according to the package instructions. Pour into a shallow dish to set. Once set, cut into small cubes. Set aside.
- Mix the Milk Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole milk and sweetened condensed milk. Stir well until fully incorporated.
- Add the rose-flavored syrup to the milk mixture and mix well. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste.
- Combine All Ingredients:
- Add the cooked sago pearls, hydrated basil seeds, and cubed strawberry gelatin to the milk mixture. Stir gently to combine everything evenly.
- Chill:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill thoroughly.
- Serve:
- Just before serving, garnish the dessert with chopped pistachios and almonds for a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor.
- Serve in individual bowls or glasses for a visually appealing presentation.
Enjoy this refreshing and unique dessert, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while offering a delightful array of textures and flavors.
