No-Bake Arabic Bread Pudding is a sweet and creamy dessert that is popular in many Middle Eastern cultures. This recipe puts a delicious spin on the classic dish by adding pistachios and a saffron-cardamom syrup. The bread pudding is made by blending together old white bread, cream, milk, cornflour, sugar, and rosewater in a blender, then heating the mixture on low heat until it thickens. The addition of chopped pistachios adds a nice crunch to each bite. The saffron-cardamom syrup is made separately by boiling sugar, saffron, cardamom, and water together until it thickens into a syrupy consistency. The syrup is poured over each individual bowl of bread pudding just before serving.
