This recipe started as Almond Milk Curd and then a substitute here and a substitute there and suddenly it was a completely new recipe.
I thought it was unique, but after a little research I found it is similar to Mahalabia, Persian Rose Milk Pudding. The pudding has more milk and thus a creamier texture, and this is more gelatin like.
Mahalabia is usually served with nuts such as pistachios or almonds. I served mine with lemon curd and a few rosemary flowers I plucked off one of my rosemary plant. It was a wonderful combination.
What do roses taste like?
If you have never tried anything with edible flowers or extracts, it tastes pretty much like it smells. Which makes sense considering how closely taste and smell are related.
Be sure to use rose water made for culinary use and not essential oils. It can often be found with the extracts or in the liquor department of the grocery store, or do like I did and buy a bottle on Amazon and have it on hand for forever and a day! You only need a small amount of this for the rose flavor to come through. Other brands may require more so start small and add more as needed.
The rosemary blossoms have a light rosemary taste. When using edible flowers, make sure your flowers are organically grown, unless you want a mouth full of pesticides. I am an organic gardener, so I know they are safe.
