Mango Muhallabiah

After the Mango Cream, another creamy dessert using mangoes but with more oriental flavors! I love a good muhallabieh and have even made a chocolate version of it. But if I tell you that this one is the best I have tried, then wouldn’t you believe me? 🙂 You should…

I got this recipe from my cut-outs. But it wasn’t this. The recipe was plain muhallabieh with bites of mangoes and the crunch of pistachios. I gave it my own twist by pulping in the mango. The first time I made it, I wasn’t in a mood to click them, so we just enjoyed the whole batch. I made it again the second time only to click it first, and then enjoy it! 😉

If you are doubtful whether the flavors of rose water and orange blossom water gel along with the mango, then I would say “of course”! I feel that mango is such a versatile fruit that gets happily married to any flavor. I have made this several times when we get really sweet mangoes and it has disappeared, with everyone asking for more! This one makes a handy party dessert, that can be served in cute little bowls, with guests raving for them! 🙂

I guess this dessert will rank among some of the best clicks I have taken. Somehow I am struggling with my pictures these days – maybe because I am not shooting as much as I used to, since my schedule is getting tighter by the day. Looking at these, I feel – maybe I can still do it, InShaAllah… 🙂
