Muhellabia/Mahalabia is a thick custurd like milk pudding..
Very easy to make but tastes so good... Once you try it you'll fall in love with it!!!
Ingredients:
2 cups of milk,
3 tbl spoon of corn starch which is known as maizena too
2-3 tbl spoon of sugar ( according to your taste)
Rose water/ orange blossom or you can use Vanillia
Another 50 ml of milk for the corn starch to dissolve..
Preparation:
Heat the milk with sugar…when comes to boiling point add the cornstarch mixed with 50 ml of regular milk…Add that in the milk..Stir in until thick..Add rose water or in Moroccan way you can add orange blossom too....Muhellabia thickens after being cool down, so it should be medium thick…Pour into several individual ramekins..keep it in the refrigerator to set…After 3/ 4 hours keep it out from refrigerator and serve with dried fruits..Pour some honey over it…Ready..
Note: The consistency of Mahalabia should be greek yogurt like thick ..If you add too much cornstarch or make it too thick before cooling down it would turn into something which is not mahalabia at all!!!!!!!!!!
