Method

1. Mix all the ingredients cold except the sweetened condensed milk (add it when the mixture heats up)... if using cream, mix it with the other ingredients too
2. Place the mixture over the heat and stir constantly so it does not stick to the pot
3. Pound the mastic until it becomes powder, and when the mixture thickens and is ready, add the powdered mastic and orange blossom water, mix well, and turn off the heat
4. Pour the muhallabia into serving cups and decorate as desired
5. Let it cool at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator to chill before serving
