Ashta<\/strong> is a type of milk pudding<\/strong> that is traditionally used to fill desserts, such as the filled pancakes Atayef<\/a> or the pudding rolls<\/a>. The milk cream is hardly sweetened at all, as it is always sweetened with plenty of sugar syrup afterwards. However, ashta does not necessarily have to be hidden in a pastry. The milk pudding is also a delicious dessert<\/strong> on its own, especially with passion fruit and honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Ashta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Originally, ashta is not<\/strong> really a milk pudding, but rather a homemade creamy custard<\/strong> that is very similar to Italian mascarpone. So, if you have plenty of time, you can heat up fresh milk and skim off the skin that forms on the surface over and over again, flavor it and puree it. But honestly, who does that? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another variant is to heat milk<\/strong> with cream<\/strong> and separate the whey by adding a little vinegar<\/strong>, then skim<\/strong> off the separating cream<\/strong> and pour it into a sieve. It’s easier, but still more work than it should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make it really easy for yourself and make an “Ashta Kisbeh<\/strong>“. The name means something like “Fake Ashta<\/strong>“. The cream tastes very similar to the original, but is actually more of a pudding. All you need is milk<\/strong> and cornstarch<\/strong>. The pudding is then flavored with rose and orange blossom water<\/a> to give it that typical taste – and that’s it. There is actually very little sugar, as we prefer to give the milk pudding a sweet topping<\/strong> with honey<\/strong> and passion fruit<\/strong> afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you make ashta using this pudding method, it has the advantage that you can turn it out. Just like panna cotta<\/strong>. But of course you don’t have to. You can also serve everything in a dessert bowl. Ashta is ready really quickly using this method and can be topped to your heart’s content once it has cooled. The milk pudding is also ideal for filling pastries or as a cream for dessert toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom even has ashta with honey and nuts for breakfast<\/strong>. Here, however, I opted for beautiful and super fruity passion fruit<\/strong> aka maracuja<\/strong>. Simply cut open, pour over the milk pudding and season with honey and a little mint – it’s probably never been so easy to conjure up such a visually and tastefully spectacular dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you prepare ashta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You only need a handful of ingredients for this pudding variation, because ashta is quick<\/strong> and easy<\/strong> to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
