Muhallabia (Milk Pudding)
Muhallabia is a Middle Eastern milk pudding made with 4 ingredients: milk, cornstarch, sugar, and a splash of rose water. Cook on the stove top for 10 minutes then cool, chill and serve!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- Ground pistachios for serving
- Edible rose petals for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the milk, sugar and cornstarch, and stir well to combine all the ingredients together.
- Start whisking lightly but constantly as the mixture heats. It’s important not to stop whisking in order to avoid any clumps. Once it reaches a simmer, turn down the heat to low and continue whisking.
- After whisking for about 5-7 minutes, the mixture will thicken like pudding. Stir in the rose water, then divide the pudding equally into eight cups or bowls.
- Allow them to come to room temperature. Place the containers in the fridge for at least one hour to allow the pudding to set and chill.
- Serve cold garnished with pistachios and rose petals, if desired.
