Milk pudding with sour cherry sauce is a Turkish-style dessert of smooth, starch-thickened milk pudding topped with a tart fruit sauce. It brings together the mild, creamy pudding and the sharper flavor of sour cherries.
Cook milk with sugar and a starch thickener, stirring until the pudding is smooth and thick, then portion it and let it cool. Simmer sour cherries separately into a sauce, cool that too, and spoon it over the set pudding.
Muhallebi is the plain milk pudding; milk pudding with sour cherry sauce adds a sour-cherry topping. The base is similar, but the fruit sauce gives this version a tangy contrast and makes it a layered dessert.
Yes, frozen sour cherries work well for milk pudding with sour cherry sauce. Cook them straight from frozen or thaw them first, then simmer until softened; if they release a lot of liquid, reduce the sauce until it thickens.
The sauce is usually runny because the cherries released more juice than expected or it was not simmered long enough. Cook it until the liquid reduces, or thicken it with a little starch mixed into cold water before adding it to the pudding.
Yes, milk pudding with sour cherry sauce is usually served chilled. Cooling helps the pudding set and lets the topping settle; add the sauce after the pudding has cooled so the layers keep their shape.
Milk pudding with sour cherry sauce keeps for about 2–3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Keep it chilled because it contains milk, and discard it if its smell or texture changes.
Freezing milk pudding with sour cherry sauce is not recommended. The milk pudding can turn grainy or watery after thawing, while the cherry topping may separate; refrigerate it instead and enjoy it while its texture is fresh.
Yes, you can make milk pudding with sour cherry sauce a day ahead. Chill the pudding and sauce separately in covered containers, then add the topping before serving to keep the pudding surface from becoming wet.
You can garnish milk pudding with sour cherry sauce with whole sour cherries, chopped pistachios, or hazelnuts. Add nuts just before serving so they stay crisp, and keep the garnish light enough not to overwhelm the tart fruit topping.

Milk pudding with sour cherry sauce is a Turkish-style dessert: a softly set pudding made with milk and starch, finished with a sweet-tart sauce of sour cherries. It is common in home kitchens and pastry shops, and is usually served chilled. The pudding is smooth and mild, while the fruit topping adds a bright tang and a little contrast in texture.
It works well as a small dessert after a meal, especially in warm weather. Its energy comes mostly from carbohydrates, with a more modest amount of protein, so it is best thought of as a sweet treat rather than a substantial snack. For a lighter serving, keep the portion modest and let the sharp cherry flavour do the work instead of adding extra toppings.
