Mahalepi!!!

In the summer in Cyprus we are serving a dessert that is unlike any other. Mahalepi is one of the best things to keep you cool in the hot summer days. It’s delicious, very simple and low in calories.

In a pan gently heat all the ingredients together being very careful not to burn the bottom of the pan. Stir all the time until the mixture turns from cloudy white to a transparent glue-like consistency. Very slowly bring to the boil, stirring for approximately 10 minutes.

Pour into individual saucers, which is the traditional way, or into one big dish to cool and set.

Cut the Mahalebi into cubes, place a few into a dessert dish, pour over 1 tbsp of rose cordial, sprinkle with sugar and add ice cold water, sometimes crushed ice.
