A Yemeniyah's Recipes

Very popularly made during Ramadan especially.

You will need:

1) 3 cups milk
2) 1/4 cup sugar
3) 2 1/2  tblsp custard powder
4) 1/2 of tsp banana flavoring essence (liquid)
5) I 20 oz. can of crushed or diced pineapple in syrup (peach works beautifully as well).
6) Unsweetened coconut for decoration

Let’s start:

Pour the 2 cups with sugar into a saucepan and place on low heat . Mix one cup of milk with the custard powder using whisk. Mix well until well incorporated ( no lumps allowed) . Add to the milk and sugar while still luke warm and bring to boil, while continuously whisking. If you don’t,  it will burn at the bottom and will affect the taste.

As it starts to boil it will thicken. Continue until desired thickness. I don’t like it very thick– I prefer gravy thickness. Turn the heat off , and add the banana flavoring essence and pineapple syrup.

 Divide and arrange the pineapple pieces in individual bowls and pour the custard on top. Sprinkle  coconut for decoration. Refrigerate DO NOT FREEZE. Serve cold.

Enjoy !
