Malabi Recipe | Israeli Dessert

Malabi is milk and cornstarch-based dessert flavored with rose water. The dish origins from Turkey but is quite famous in Israel.

Malabi

Malabi serves best when refrigerated for a couple of hours until it firms completely. I didn’t wait as much and poured the cherry compote on top of it before it settled perfectly. That’s why you can see a sunken top on the serving dishes.

I made the cornstarch version but there are several other variations made with rice flour, tapioca starch and so.
