What is Kayifli muhallebi?
Kayifli muhallebi is a traditional Turkish milk pudding, thickened as it cooks to give it a smooth, spoonable consistency. Milk and sugar form the familiar base; the exact detail suggested by “kayifli” may vary between recipes, so the name alone does not establish a particular topping or addition. It is usually chilled before serving.
Mildly sweet and soft, it makes a simple dessert after a meal or a treat alongside tea. Its milk base gives it some protein, but it is chiefly a sweet pudding; a 100 g portion provides 110 calories. For a lighter serving, keep the portion modest and add cinnamon or fresh fruit rather than a sweet sauce.
