The name of this traditional light custard is Muhallabi, but in other regions of the Middle East it is called Malabi. It is a fragrant and light-weight, mildly sweet milk pudding usually topped with rose water and coconut, but sometimes also with pistachios.

Prep Time 30 minutes

Serves: 4

Difficulty Level: Low

Ingredients for pudding:

Cornstarch - 7 tbsp.

Almond milk - 1 quart

Powdered sugar - 5 tbsp.

Vanilla Extract - 2 tsp.

Cardamom - 2 beans

Rose water - 2 tbsp.

Pistachios - 2 tbsp. (crushed)

Method of preparing the pudding:

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 1 cup almond milk and set aside. Consistency should be pasty.
Over medium flame, heat the rest of the milk with the sugar, vanilla, cardamom, and rose water. Mix well until smooth.
When mixture boils, remove the cardamom, add the cornstarch mix, and cook for 15 more minutes. Make sure to keep stirring to avoid residue at the bottom of the pan.
Pour the mixture into serving cups, garnish with pistachios and let cool. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes or more before serving.
