Shelina is serving up a totally scrumptious coconut and rose mahalabia that is so simple to make, and even easier to eat. This ancient middle eastern milk pudding is made with coconut milk and corn-starch that’s cooked to form a custard. This light and creamy dish is similar to pannacotta but is traditionally served in small bowls and garnished with earthy pistachios and edible rose petals.

Method

  1. In the Kenwood mixing bowl, weigh the coconut milk, cornflour, and icing sugar
  2. Attach the scraper attachment and set to 7 for 20minutes and allow the warming bowl to do its work on the ingredients as you want the mixture to become thick like a custard
  3. Turn off and then pour in the vanilla bean paste and rose water
  4. Remove from the bowl and scrape clean and empty the contents into 6 pre-greased dariole moulds (can grease with some flavourless vegetable oil
  5. Allow the mahalabia to cool overnight
  6. Turn the moulds upside down onto a small serving plate and tap the top of the moulds gently to release the mahalabia and decorate with rose petals and pistachios.
