Sahlab (Middle Eastern Pudding) image

This is a quick and easy to prepare dessert. I usually always have the ingredients on hand. There are boxed versions of this pudding, but it is traditionally prepared at home. You can add more or less cornstarch if preferred. This dessert is so versatile that it can be served warm or chilled. I love to eat it both ways, when it chills it firms up.

This sahlab recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I didn't have any rose water, so I used almond extract instead. It was still good, but I think I would have preferred the rose water.

The sahlab turned out a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add a little more milk next time.

I'm not a big fan of rose water, so I substituted vanilla extract instead. The pudding was still very good.
