    Ashtalieh Recipe

    October 24, 2025

    Ladies who love to host – this one’s for you. Ashtalieh is a comforting Lebanese milk pudding, creamy and fragrant with a gentle hint of rose and orange blossom water. Here is why I love to make it. My in-laws are Armenian from Syria and Lebanon, and through them, I’ve been introduced to so many incredible flavors in the kitchen. One of my favorite desserts is my mother-in-law’s version of Ashtalieh. It’s decadent, so simple to make and perfect for the host who loves to serve something homemade and always elegant on the table. It’s the perfect dessert for any gathering. I hope you will make it!

    Please follow how I make it on Instagram and let me know if you have any questions.

    Ingredients

    ASHTALIEH

    4 cups milk
    2 cups whipping cream
    ½ cup sugar
    ½ tsp mastic
    ¾ cup cornstarch
    2 tbsp orange blossom water
    2 tbsp rose water ( I only add rose water)

    SYRUP

    2 cups sugar
    1 cup water
    1 tbsp lemon juice

    Instructions

    ASHTALIEH

    Combine all Ashtalieh ingredients in a pot. Turn the heat to medium and stir constantly until thickened –  this helps avoid clumps. Once thickened, add your rose and/or orange blossom water.

    Before pouring the mixture into your mold, wet the mold lightly – this creates a thin water barrier so the pudding releases easily once set.

    Turn off the heat, pour the mixture into the mold, and refrigerate for 24 hours (or until firm).

    SYRUP

    Simmer all syrup ingredients over medium heat until slightly thick and sticky.

    SERVE

    Pour desired amount of syrup over your Ashtalieh and garnish with crushed pistachios.

    Enjoy! xo
