What is Malva Pudding

Malva pudding is a sweet pudding of South African origin. It contains apricot jam and has a spongy caramelized texture. A cream sauce is often poured over it while it is hot, and it is usually served hot with custard and/or ice cream. Many South African restaurants offer it.

Today we used Orange Juice instead of water, do give it a try! In this recipe, you will notice that we reduced the sugar because we used Orange Juice.
