Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Well kind of anyway.

I'm planning a Turkish meal for me and the mrs, got everything sorted for the full experience aside from pudding.

Quite a few times in different restaurants we've been served a really odd pudding and don't know what it is.

It is usually chocolate or banana flavour, and it is chilled in a metal dish, and has a consistency like set custard.

Does anyone know what this is, and does anyone know how to make it.

If not, i'm just gonna go down the Angel Delight route, but would rather stay authentic.

Cheers

Turkish Milk Pudding (Muhallebi)

1 lt milk (5 cups)
1-1½ cup sugar
4-5 tbsp flour
125 gr butter/margarine (1 stick)
1 tsp vanilla extract/1 package ground vanilla or mastic/mastic gum
Crushed nuts or cinnamon for garnish

In a pot, sautee margarine/butter and flour over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Then stir in milk and sugar and stir continuously. If you’ll use mastic gum, add it. Then stir till the pudding becomes thick, turn heat low and cook for 3-4 minutes. If you’ll use vanilla instead of mastic gum, then add vanilla, stir and turn the heat off.
Transfer the Milk Pudding into glass or porcelain cups and let it cool. Garnish with any kinds of crushed nuts or cinnamon.

You really are a font of knowledge Mr The Viking.

Cheers.

going to try that one sounds lovely
