Malabi

Before I go in my well deserved holidays, I want to share a very tasty recipe with you. It is a dessert and it is called Malabi. Malabi is a well known dessert in Israel. In Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt people know it as Muhallibieh. But what is Malabi? It’s only milk pudding, made in 15 minutes. Sounds like a dessert for children, but also you will love it. Just give it a try.

You need:

1 cup (250 ml) milk

1 cup (250 ml) cream

4 tbsp sugar

4 tbsp corn flour

1 tbsp rose water

1 pomegranate

What you need to do:

In a pot combine sugar and corn flour ingredients.

Pour in slowly the cream and stir so lumps don't form.

Add rose water and milk and let simmer over medium heat until it thickens. Stir from time to time.

Pour into bowls/ glasses and cover with plastic wrap. Let chill at room temperature, garnish with pomegranate seeds and give for 2 hours in the fridge. When the 2 hours have passed, the Malabi can be served.
