A non-Iranian dessert loved by Iranians... Its subtle orange blossom flavour and delicate texture makes it a refined dessert that will appeal to everyone, including those who are on a diet (there is no fat or flour). Nooshe jaan! (Bon appétit!)

- Dissolve the cornflour in a little of the milk, and pour into a saucepan with the rest of the milk, sugar and orange blossom water. Cook over medium heat, whisking continuously. When there's no more foam on the surface, dip a spoon in the milk. The dessert is done when the milk coats the spoon. Pour into ramekins and refrigerate until fully chilled.
- For the syrup: in a saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water and orange blossom water. Place over high heat and boil till reduced by half. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Serve topped with syrup (not too much because it is very sweet) and garnished with pistachios.
