This rice pudding is a popular dessert in Arabic cuisine and the whole world. My mom made it very often, especially for my dad. It’s thick, creamy, and delicious. Most families make it the same way, the differences are in the toppings.

Rice pudding (Roz bel Haleeb)

When I make it, it’s for the sake of my husband, he loved it too. I had it a lot when I was kid, especially that I like rice a lot, and of course creamy stuff. Then when I felt that I had enough of it, I moved on to other desserts. Just before I wrote this post, I had some pudding. It’s amazing how food evokes emotions and bring memories . The smell, the taste that instantly made me feel like I just got back home in a flash, and I just pictured myself sitting with my family gathering like the old days. I feel I never get bored of this pudding in the first place.

This rice pudding is an easy fix, you can make it any weekday. It’s great as dessert, and it’s totally works for breakfast too! It’s a balanced meal, has good amount of protein, fat and, carbohydrates. And healthy toppings such as almonds, walnuts, raisin, ground cinnamon, or fine grated coconut, will definitely give it extra nutritional boost!

I believe there is no wrong choosing cow milk, however you can make your own version of any kind of milk you like. And as white rice may not be the perfect grain, you can try brown one, or wild rice.

This pudding won’t be complete without rose water and mustic powder! You can find them in middle eastern shops or online. Here is I brand for rosewater I use, and love.

Hope you Enjoy it as I did!
