Labaniyyah [Custard Adeni Style]

Posted in Ramadan, Sweet Tooth (Desserts) on July 1, 2011| 2 Comments »


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 !

Chocolate Basboosa

Posted in Sweet Tooth (Desserts) on June 21, 2011| 1 Comment »


You can make this in two ways–a light or regular version.

For the light you will need:

1) 1 can of Nestle table cream

2) 1 cup of oil

3) 1 tblsp of cocoa powder [unsweetened]

4) 1 tblsp of instant coffee

5) 1 tblsp of baking powder

6) 1 and 1/2 cup of semolina [cream of wheat]

7) 1 cup of sugar

8 ) 1/2 cup of coconut

9) 2 bars of dove milk chocolate–they should be hard, so store in refrigerator

10) can of sweetened condensed milk [can use fat free if you like]

Preheat oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit. In a mixer add the cream, oil and sugar. Then add the dry ingredients 1 by 1 and continue mixing–cocoa powder, instant coffee, baking powder, coconut, and semolina. Spray  an oven dish with baking spray [4 QT] and bake in oven for about 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. When warm–not piping hot–pour as much of the sweetened condensed milk as  you prefer. I did not use the whole can–but rather half. Grate the chocolate on top and voila. It’s ready to serve. It goes so well with vanilla ice cream.  The texture is brownie like and airy.

For the regular version [ spongy, cake like]:

1) 4 eggs

2) 1/4 cup powdered milk

3) 1 can of Nestle table cream

4) 1 cup of oil

5) 1 tblsp of cocoa powder [unsweetened]

6) 1 tblsp of instant coffee

7) 1 tblsp of baking powder

8) 1 and 1/2 cup of semolina [cream of wheat]

9) 1 cup of sugar

10 ) 1/2 cup of coconut

11) 2 bars of dove mil chocolate–they should be hard, so store in refrigerator

12) can of sweetened condensed milk [can use fat free if you like]

Preheat oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit. In a mixer add the eggs, cream, oil and sugar. Then add the dry ingredients 1 by 1 and continue mixing–milk powder, cocoa powder, instant coffee, baking powder, coconut, and semolina. Spray  an oven dish with baking spray [4 QT] and bake in oven for about 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Pour as much of the sweetened condensed milk as  you prefer. I did not use the whole can–but rather half. Grate the chocolate on top and voila. It’s ready to serve.

Enjoy!
