Gather @whole milk{600%ml} and @rose water{1%tbsp}.

Whisk 100ml of the milk with the @cornstarch{45%g} until smooth, to dissolve any lumps before it hits the heat.

Bring the remaining milk and pudding @@sugar{50%g}{70%g} to a bare simmer, then whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 6 minutes. ~{6%minutes}

Off the heat, stir in the rosewater, then pour into small cups and chill until fully set, at least 3 hours. ~{3%hours}

Meanwhile simmer the strawberries with the syrup sugar and a splash of water until they collapse into a loose syrup, then strain or blend smooth. ~{8%minutes}

Toast the @shredded coconut{30%g} in a dry pan until golden, watching closely. ~{90%seconds}

Serve the pudding straight from its cup, flooded with @strawberry{200%g} syrup and topped with toasted coconut and crushed @pistachio{20%g}.
