How to make Mahalabia Pudding

If you love to have dessert, especially when you are craving it and don't have anything prepared, then Mahalabia is the perfect dish to be made within 10 minutes. It's a Middle Eastern milk pudding served in small glasses or cups and beautifully garnished with pistachios and rose petals. This is so easy to make that even a beginner can perfectly cook it. Milk is mixed with thickening agents, cornstarch, or rice flour. I prefer corn flour because it has a very smooth consistency. Once the milk thickens and reaches the required consistency, add a few drops of flavoring, either rose essence or rose water, orange blossom water, or cardamom. The dessert is normally served after it has been refrigerated for up to 1 or 2 hours. Well, you can also serve it warm; it's up to you.

Pour it into serving cups and garnish it with nuts of your choice. This mahalabia milk pudding takes up the flavor that you choose to add you can also skip adding flavors if you prefer to have just a sweet milk pudding. This is a perfect Ramadan dessert. Make it at home and enjoy it with your family.
