Mihalabeya, Egypt’s universally loved milk pudding, has a smooth base that is both light and satisfying. In this version, the humble pudding is combined with a spoonful of mulberry compote, or toot, in Arabic. If mulberries are out of season or unavailable, fresh or frozen blackberries give the same jammy texture and inky colour.
