Mahalabia

"Mahalabia is a delicious Middle Eastern milk pudding. It comes together in less than 10 minutes, needs only a handful of ingredients, and can be dressed up in several different ways. What more could you ask for? Mahalabia is a milk-based Middle Eastern dessert. It’s typically made using a combination of milk, sugar, flour, and sugar. The mixture is typically thickened using either wheat starch, cornstarch, or rice flour (not all three! Too much thickener will result in goop). Flavour is added to mahalabia in two ways: firstly, by incorporation some sort of flavour agent (vanilla, orange blossom water, rose water, etc.); and secondly, through garnishing with toppings like nuts (pistachios are popular), and edible flowers. This dessert is popular all year round, but is especially popular as a Ramadan dessert."
