The traditional malva pudding is South Africa’s most loved dessert. Mostly served in winter or colder days with custard, however this pudding is ideal served with ice cream as well. Making it an all season dessert. This traditional malva pudding with a twist takes the malva pudding to the next level.
The twist is in the sauce. I’ve deviated from the original sauce and made a few slight changes to the original recipe. Having this pudding this doesn’t really require custard or ice cream as the sauce itself is lovely. This finger licking dessert might convert you and not make you go back to the traditional way.
