Malabi is a delicate and refreshing Moroccan dessert that impresses with its sophistication and the aroma of Eastern sweets. Its history dates back to ancient Levant traditions where similar desserts delighted gourmets. Malabi is made from milk and cream thickened with cornstarch, giving it a velvety texture. The special magic of flavor comes from rose syrup, filling each spoonful with floral fragrance. Crunchy pistachios and crackers add a pleasant contrast, making the dessert not only airy but also texturally rich. It is the perfect treat for hot days, refreshing and evoking a sense of an Eastern fairy tale.
