malva pudding: the creamiest carmeliest spoon dessert ever
Hello there. I hope you're good, because I'm good. I just made Malva Pudding and my house smells amazing. Malva Pudding is a South African dessert that is basically a brown sugar-colored cake soaked in a bourbon/rum caramel sauce, then served with a luscious velvety vanilla custard. It cannot get much better than this. Especially when you are used to "making do" with sugar grains that too big and cream that doesn't whip. For most recipes I find on the internet or on books, I have to assess how much they rely on ingredients that I can't find here or ingredients that I can find here, yet are different slightly. Did you know that the size of sugar grains greatly affects caramelization or the creaming of sugar into butter (sadly the start of most cookie recipes)? Most of the time, my beloved large sugar works perfectly here. Except when it doesn't and you have ten minutes to make a new dessert for a party you're going to because the sugar crystals...
