8 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup basmati rice
  • 4 cardamom pods, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 8 ounces mascarpone
  • 1/4 teaspoon rose water (optional; see notes)
  • Chopped pistachios

Directions

  1. 1
    In a 2- to 3-quart pan over high heat, bring rice, cardamom, salt, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Lower heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook until water is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and let cool to room temperature. Discard cardamom pods.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, combine cream, sugar, mascarpone, and rose water (if using). Whip mixture with an electric mixer at medium speed, until thickened.
  3. 3
    Stir in rice. Spoon into eight bowls or dessert glasses. Cover and chill until cold, at least 1 hour. Just before serving, sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
