Watermelon 'Pudding'
From Desserts and Sweet Snacks: Rustic Italian Style (Morrow)
By Viana La Place
La Place recommends serving the pudding in small portions because it is very sweet.
4 to 5 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 pounds ripe watermelon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
- pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios plus extra for sprinkling
Cut watermelon into chunks and remove rind and seeds. Put watermelon through a food mill or process in a blender to get about 2 cups juice.
Combine the watermelon juice, sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan, and stir until the cornstarch completely dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Let boil for a few minutes until the mixture is bright red. Stir in the orange blossom water and cinnamon.
Pour into 4 or 5 small ice cream goblets. When cool, stir in chocolate pieces and pistachios.
Refrigerate until well chilled. To serve, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and, if available, garnish with jasmine flowers.
