Pistachio Rosewater Creme Brulee

You can visit the original post for a few extra details and tips!

I know it's technically crème brûlée, but I'm gonna pretend all those accent marks never happened, and you're just gonna agree to not judge me for it. Deal?

Remember my pistachio paste recipe for cheaters? Well, this is what you're going to need it for.

Creme brulee is delicious by itself, but adding the complex flavors of pistachio and rosewater will take it up to a whole new, gourmet level. This recipe uses a creme brulee mix, so don't be intimidated - it's surprisingly easy! (And I'll never tell anybody you didn't make it from scratch!) You don't even need a torch to get the beautiful bruleed sugar on top!

Step 1: Ingredients

• creme brulee mix (available at most groceries)
• 1 cup/240 mL whole milk
• 1 cup/240 mL whipping (heavy) cream
• 2 tablespoons pistachio paste (recipe or ready-made)
• rosewater (available at ethnic groceries)
• chopped roasted pistachios

Lovely. Reminds me of a Lebanese dessert called Mahalabia: http://www.golden-recipes.com/free-cooking-food-easy-mahalabiya.html

Still, yours looks even better.
