Watermelon Pudding
Author comments: Serve the pudding in small portions because it is very
sweet.
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.
Yield: 4 to 5 servings
