Mahalabi(Muhallebi)

classic
Mahalabi — Representative presentation image
Representative presentation image

A spoon dessert that presents the taste of milk in its pure form; in the mastic variety, a very small amount of mastic is used.

The raw flour taste should be completely eliminated; the goal is a shiny but not breakable consistency.

Shortcuts worth knowing

  • Pick the good one

    Check whether the syrup has settled: good baklava does not leak syrup onto the plate and keeps its crispness.

  • Right time

    Baklava hardens and dies in the fridge; keep it at room temperature and eat it the same day.

  • Common myth

    Stacking a milk pudding and a syrup dessert in one meal dulls both; choose one.
