Comment préparer Sweet Couscous With Custard

**Custard:** In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups whole milk over medium heat until just simmering.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, ½ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until pale and thick.
Whisk in 2 tablespoons cornstarch until completely smooth.
Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and comes to a gentle boil (about 1-2 minutes).
Continue stirring vigorously for 45 seconds after boiling to prevent lumps.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon rose water.
Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 2 hours).
**Couscous:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast ½ cup sliced almonds until golden brown.
Roughly chop the toasted almonds and ½ cup walnuts in a food processor.
Add ½ cup pitted dates (chopped) and ½ cup raisins to the nuts; set aside.
Prepare 1 cup couscous according to package directions.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 1 tablespoon of sugar into the cooked couscous.
**Assembly:** Spread the chilled custard evenly in the bottom of a 10-12 inch serving dish.
Top with half of the couscous mixture.
Scatter the nut and dried fruit mixture evenly over the couscous.
Cover with the remaining couscous and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of ground pistachios.
