How to Make Ashta Cream From Scratch

WHAT IS ASHTA CREAM ?

Ashta is a rich and decadent thick clotted cream that's very well-known and loved all across the Middle East. Traditionally, it's made by boiling fresh milk and skimming off the thin skin that forms on its surface.

INGREDIENTS

Servings 3 cups

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon orange blossom water Optional

METHOD

1. Whisk all the ingredients (except orange blossom water if using) in a small pot away from the stove.
2. Once fully incorporated, bring the pot to the stove and turn the heat on medium-high, whisking constantly until it starts to thicken and boil. Whisk for 30 seconds more until really thick.
3. Immediately pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the top of the ashta.
4. Let come to room temperature, then refrigerate to set for at least one hour.

NOTES

• Don't stop whisking when the heat is on.
• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
