What Is Mouhalabieh?

Mouhalabieh is a traditional milk pudding made with just a few simple ingredients: milk, sugar, and cornstarch, combined to create a silky-smooth texture that melts in your mouth. What sets it apart is the aromatic infusion of rosewater or orange blossom water, which lends a floral fragrance that’s both refreshing and luxurious. This dessert is typically served chilled, with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios or syrup drizzle for added flavour and texture.
