If you’re looking for an easy, light dessert, you’re in the right place! Today we’re going to show you the mahlabia a pudding of Moroccan and Egyptian tradition flavoured with orange blossom and sprinkled with roasted nuts! 😀

The savour of mahlabia will be so rich to transport you into the atmosphere of “One Thousand and One Nights”, but, as you will see in the recipe, not heavy and easy to digest!

The mahlabia is a dish so delicate that may be served not only as a dessert, but also as interlude between the plates of a rich lunch or dinner… As a sorbet, in short words 🙂 .
