What is Mahalabia

Mahalabia/Muhallabia/Mahlebieh is a creamy, silky and incredibly smooth Middle Eastern and Turkish dessert, very similar to Italian pannacotta or milk custard. Mainly made with milk, sugar, cornstarch and flavored with rose water or orange blossom water. It is then chilled and served garnished with nuts of choice. Cornstarch is added to set the mixture and to create a custard-like consistency. Some even use rice flour as a thickener. However, you can play around with flavors in this.

How to make Mahalabia With Mango

To make this mahalabia with mango all you need is some milk, fresh cream, cornflour, sugar, rose water, cardamom powder, sweet mango puree, and you are good to go. It is served in glass cups and bowls and I choose to sprinkle some ground cashew nuts. Feel free to garnish with whatever nuts you like. However, it can be made without fresh cream too but the addition of cream lends a beautiful texture and taste to the recipe. In addition, fresh cream and sugar can also be replaced with condensed milk. Even you can use plant-based milk for a vegan version of mahalabia. Like I said you can play around with flavors. This is what I like the most about this exotic dessert. 🙂

It can be made in advance. Hence perfect to be served in parties or gatherings.

    Thanks for the recipe. Just made this and it turned out great. Since I didn't have mango, just topped it with crushed almonds and substituted the corn flour with rice flour. One suggestion is to add the rose water after taking the pan off the heat, before pouring into the serving glasses.
