Cooking Instructions

  1. In a large heavy-based saucepan, scald the milk then remove from the heat.
  2. Set ½ cup of the milk aside.
  3. Gently mix the rose petals into the warmed milk in the pan and let them infuse for 15-20 minutes. Strain the milk through a fine sieve and discard the petals.
  4. Pour the infused milk back into the saucepan, add the sugar and vanilla extract, and bring to a simmer over a medium heat.
  5. Whisk the cornflour mixture into the reserved ½ cup of milk until there are no lumps.
  6. Add the cornflour mixture to the pan and simmer over a low heat for 7-10 minutes, stirring gently with a rubber spatula, until the mixture has thickened and coats the spatula. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  7. Add the rose water and gently fold in the raspberries.
  8. Ladle the custard into 6 dessert dishes or ramekins and cool in the refrigerator.
  9. Serve chilled, topped with the pomegranate rubies and fresh rose petals.
