Ingredients
- 500 ml whole milk
- 8-10 dried figs
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tbsp crushed walnuts
- 1/2 tea glass warm water
Method
- Soak the dried figs in warm water until soft, then chop them into small cubes.
- Heat the milk to a temperature that doesn't burn your finger (about 40-45 degrees Celsius).
- Place the chopped figs in a bowl, pour the warm milk over them, and blend until smooth.
- Divide the mixture into bowls, cover them with a tray or cloth, and let them rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Once set, move to the refrigerator and garnish with walnuts before serving.
The temperature of the milk is crucial; if it's too hot, the milk may curdle, and if too cold, it won't set.
