Step 1

To remove the sodium, soak the cheese in water for 1-3 hours or over night, renewing the water a few times- if using Belgioioso cheese, there is no need to soak!

Step 2

In a pot add washed short or medium grain rice. Cover with 6 cups of water. Bring water to a boil for about 4 minutes then simmer for 30 minutes covered stirring occasionally until all the water has been soaked by the rice.

Step 3

After 30 minutes if needed if the rice hans’t fully soaked all the water, cover it and leave it or another 10-20 minutes.

Step 4

Now, using an immersion blender blemd the rice until it is a creamy consistency.

Step 5

Add the drained cheese and sugar into the pot of creamed rice. Place on medium heat and begin to stir consistently until all ingredients are well combined and content is stretchy.

Step 6

Add in the rosewater and blossom water and continue mixing to combine⁣ on medium heat.

Step 7

Now, pour the warm cheese filling into a 9x13 pyrex. Allow it to cool.

Step 8

Top is with a layer of ashta (sweet cream). Garnish with ground pistachio.

Step 9

Place it in the fridge for 4 hours or over night. Enjoy as is or for added sweetness, drizzle honey or simple syrup.
