Instructions
- Peel the carrots, grate them finely or chop into small pieces, then blend with a little milk until you have a smooth purée.
- Heat the rest of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat with the sugar and a pinch of salt.
- Add the carrot purée to the simmering milk and stir well.
- Simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring often so the milk doesn't catch on the bottom.
- Dissolve the cornflour in a little cold water, pour it into the pan and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the cinnamon and orange blossom water, then take off the heat.
- Spoon into small bowls, sprinkle with almonds, raisins and pistachios, and let cool to lukewarm or chill in the fridge.
