“Muhalabia is the Middle East’s most beloved milk pudding—a silky, delicate custard that’s been part of dessert tables for generations. Traditionally flavored with rose water and orange blossom, it carries that unmistakable taste of nostalgia. I’ve taken this childhood classic and reimagined it through a rich, caramelized burnt Basque cheesecake. Serve it sliced with crushed pistachios and dried edible rose petals.” —Dona Murad, founder of Librae Bakery
