Mahalepi is one of those love them or hate them desserts 😆 🙃

Boiled cornflour drenched in rose, sugar and water creates a bland texture for some but a delicious Summer memory for others.

If you have never tried this Cypriot dessert before then give it a try because it is so easy and if you have and don't like mahalepi, give my version a try because I accidently made it less thick and a little softer/creamier which makes it even more appetizing!

So all my mahalepi haters and lovers here is my recipe:
INGREDIENTS
•10 tbsp cornflour or nistaste (maize powered starch)
•8tbsp sugar
•2 cups water
•6 cups water
•splash rose water
•ice cubes
•sugar
•rose syrup
METHOD
•In a pan add 10 tablespoon of cornflour, 8 tablespoons sugar and 2 cups of water and whisk everything together so there are no lumps
•Add 6 more cups of water and stir
•Before you add your pan to the heat get your dishes ready. Use a plate or a bowl that is about 2cm thick and wet it with some water to make it easy for your mahalepi to come out. You can also use a square dish just make sure to wet it
•Add your pan to the heat and keep whisking until your cornflour starts to bubble. When it starts bubbling add a splash of rose water and whisk for a few more minutes
•Add your mahalepi to your prepared bowl and put it in the fridge to set
• To serve have a bowl ready with water and ice cubes to keep your mahalepi fresh until you want to eat it so you can save space in your fridge
•If you have a big dish cut your mahalepi into pieces and put it in your serving dish, sprinkle over some sugar and drench it in rose syrup if you want
•Finish off with a little water and Enjoy 😊
