Vanilla and chocolate muhallebi — two types of muhallebi in one glass. A delicious, creative way to serve this classic pudding.

Ingredients:

Vanilla muhallebi:

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 2/3 cups milk

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla

Chocolate muhallebi:

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 2/3 cups milk

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

Method:

Prepare the vanilla muhallebi: in a first bowl mix the sugar, salt and cornstarch.
In another bowl whisk the egg with 2/3 cup milk, then add this to the first bowl and mix until smooth.
In a saucepan heat 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until hot.
When the milk is hot, remove briefly from the heat and add the mixture from the first bowl, stirring well, then return the pan to the heat.
When the pudding thickens, add the vanilla, stir and remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate muhallebi the same way: in the first bowl mix the sugar, cornstarch, salt and cocoa powder.
In another bowl whisk the egg with 2/3 cup milk then add to the dry mix and stir.
Heat 2 cups of milk in a saucepan, then add the prepared mixture, return to the heat and stir until it thickens.
When the chocolate muhallebi has thickened add the vanilla, stir and remove from the heat.
In a small clear glass, spoon some vanilla muhallebi, then spoon the chocolate muhallebi on top to create two layers in one glass.
Repeat and fill the glasses with the mixtures until finished.
Let the muhallebi cool to room temperature, or chill in the fridge before serving if you prefer.
