How to make LIBYAN MOHALIBEAH (Milk pudding)

rose water

💰Cheaper: orange blossom water

Orange blossom water provides a similar floral note.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds sweetness with a different flavor profile.

pistachios

💰Cheaper: walnuts

Walnuts are more affordable and still provide crunch.

cornstarch

💰Cheaper: arrowroot powder

Arrowroot powder is a similar thickening agent.

Prepare the milk and cornstarch mixture by dissolving cornstarch into half a cup of milk.

Heat milk and sugar in a saucepan on low heat.

When the milk is about to boil, add the cornstarch-milk mixture.

Keep on stirring milk (watch carefully – will easily burn or stick to the bottom of the pan).

Once the mixture thickens, remove it from heat.

Add rose water and vanilla essence.

Pour into bowls or cups.

Once cooled (must be lukewarm or cooler), cover it and place it in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours.

Top with pistachio.
