    Muhallabia - Honey Cream


    Source of Recipe


    The Diverse Israeli Table

    Recipe Introduction


    This comes from the Maghreb region of North Africa.

    List of Ingredients




    100 gr. (6 oz.) very fine sugar
    1 1/4 cups sweet white wine
    5 Tbsp. honey
    1 tsp. grated lemon rind
    pinch of ground cinnamon
    4 whole eggs
    2 egg yolks

    Recipe



    In a heavy skillet, slowly heat the sugar in 2 tsp. of water, stirring regularly, until the sugar has melted and turned into a caramel syrup. Immediately pour the syrup into a cake tin, tilting so that the entire bottom of the tin is coated. Let cool.

    Heat the wine and honey in a saucepan, stirring until the honey dissolves. Add the cinnamon and lemon rind, stirring well. Remove from the flame and let cool 5-6 minutes.

    Beat together the egg yolks and whole eggs in a mixing bowl. Add these to the honey-wine mixture, beating until well blended, and pour into the cake tin. Place the tin in a large pot of water (be sure that the water is not higher than 1 cm. (1/2 ") from the lip of the tin) and bake in a medium oven until the mixture is set (about 45 minutes). Let
    cool for 15-20 minutes and then refrigerate.

    Just before serving, run a thin knife blade around the edges to loosen the sides and invert onto a chilled serving dish.
