Ingredients

Watermelon Pudding

Watermelon-Mint Crème Fraiche

Instructions

Watermelon Pudding

  1. Whisk together the sugars, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Pour ¼ cup of the milk into the sugar mixture, stirring to form a smooth paste. Whisk in the remaining milk, watermelon and egg yolks. Cook the pudding mixture over low heat, stirring continuously with a wood spoon until thickened, about 15 minutes. Do not allow it to boil. Remove form heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Scrape the pudding into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the surface to make an airtight seal and prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour. *Best practice is to add warm pudding into a serving vessel immediately, then cool. Makes 4-6 servings depending on serving size.

Watermelon-Mint Crème Fraiche

Brown Butter Pistachio Crumble

Assemble Desserts

  1. While pudding is warm, add to a clear medium glass serving bowl. Let cool for at least 2 hours to set. Add second layer of the crème fraiche. This can sit overnight as long as they are covered completely and air tight to prevent smells and flavors seeping in to the pudding. Add the pistachio crumble right before serving. Can serve family style or divide into individual glasses or jars.
