This Strawberry Rosewater Pudding recipe was something I came up with during a recent snow day. With my daughter home I wanted to make a dessert that was not overly sweet, and had a fun consistency. I'd seen a few cute kids Japanese desserts/candies lately that featured milk gelatins, so I gave it a whirl. My little girl loves the smell of rosewater, and I use it in beverages and desserts on occasion, so it seemed a natural addition.
The results were quite pretty. I realized this had gone beyond just a kid's dessert and was a nice choice for a light dessert after a romantic meal. As tomorrow is Valentine's Day, I'll keep this short and get right to the recipe.
*Rosewater is available at most large grocers, and is often found in the ethnic food section.
