Recipe: Muhallabia by Aniseeds

Scan_Pay_Advertise_iloveza.com_2022

Whilst making the milk tart on Saturday, I decided to keep some of the filling aside to create my version of this delicious dessert, Muhallabia: a creamy, milk-based pudding that is usually thickened using rice flour or cornstarch and then topped with sweet syrup with Middle Eastern notes 😍 I added a touch of rose essence and topped it with almonds and pistachios to decorate and add a lovely crunch! The milk tart base actually worked very well and set beautifully as well. It's a light, fragrant dessert after dinner as well as a gorgeous dessert option to prepare for Eid and it's a popular option for an Eid celebration as mentioned on @behindkitchendoors where you can find her gorgeous version of this melt in your mouth pudding too! 😍
